A few years ago I was photographing during Spring in a metropolitan park east of Detroit when I came upon a newborn deer fawn. As I approached, it remained perfectly motionless -- a built-in instinct because movement attracts the eye and an animal like this has no defense against predators. I moved very slowly in an effort to prevent the fawn from feeling too stressed. I set up my tripod in slow motion because I wanted as much depth of field as possible. I chose a 24-105mm lens, and my settings were 1/30, f/32, and 100 ISO. As I was shooting, the deer didn't even blink. That's why I knew I'd get a sharp picture even though my shutter was slow.
