Skittish animals

Rick and Carey have three wild cats, two of which seem to becoming domesticated a bit.  The third one, Tortoise (so called because of the colors in her coat) remains outside the house and very tentative.

Across the pond, whitetail deer come to browse.  When I pulled in last night this buck decided to run just a bit, and then stop. This is a characteristic of deer that often gets them in trouble, but is so predictable that you can generally get a view of them.
This first shot I did using an ISO of 200 and a shutter speed of 0.4 sec.
I then upped the ISO to 3200 which gave me a shutter speed of 1/30 sec and waited for him to stop and turn, which he did.
