NO. 3.-VIRGINIA DEER. WILD. 



Editor Recreation: Have you ever 

 noticed the great difference in the expres- 

 sion, as shown in photographs, of live wild 

 deer and of those in captivity? I send you 

 herewith prints of 2 deer, taken in an en- 

 closure; and of 2 others of wild deer, taken 

 in the woods. The buck and the doe — Figs. 

 1 and 2 — are tame deer, taken with my 

 Turner-Reich lens, 34 second exposure 

 each. 



The 2 does — Figs. 3 and 4 — are of wild 

 deer, taken when a heavy snow had driven 

 them down into the Bitter Root valley. 

 Both of these pictures were taken with a 

 telephoto lens. No. 3 was some 60 yards 

 from me and was given an exposure of 1 

 second, with open lens. 



I have enlarged this negative to more 

 than twice its original size. No. 4 is also 

 enlarged slightly. You will notice the 

 startled look on both of these does, caused 

 by a whistle I had uttered to stop them; 

 while with the tame deer no amount of 

 noise, of any kind, caused any unusual atti- 

 tude or expression. 



I used Eastman's films, for these nega- 

 tives, and for that of the live pine squirrel. 

 The latter was taken at sunset with a tele- 

 photo lens, and is, I am afraid, too hope- 

 lessly undertimed for reproduction. I gave 

 him 4 seconds, open lens, and should have 

 prolonged exposure, but that I feared he

would move, which, in fact, he did just as 

 the shutter closed.
