the 411: shutter speed 1/10. focal length 200. i'm not sure which way i shook it. but, i was just really excited because i'd never seen baby deer that young. and i didnt want to open the door to go outside cus i knew i would scare them away. so i ran to the closest window with my camera, the window was dirty, i completely disregarded all settings and shot the pic. the next second they ran away and i was left with nothing but this blurry nonsense :)
Well it may not be the shot you were after, but there's something quite appealing about it. Until I read your comments I thought this was taken in heavy rain.
Somehow the shake transforms the picture by turning the tree ?? in the background into some sort of fairytale landscape, like twinkling candles. Remarkable. Edit because now I see it's a hillside with rocks or something, not a tree at all. I could still be wrong but i'm not going to try to figure it out any more because that would spoil it.
hey shanny .. this is the best result .. i love the way it looks like a canvas in the background and the beautiful blur on the animals only makes this more special .. a feeling of impermanence heightened !! :) ..
The textural component that derives from the blur here becomes the emotional component that informs the image; if that makes any sense. Ephemeral and evocative.

It feels like rain! Although blurry there is still an incredible amount of detail here, right down to those dots on the littlun's fur. Lovely accident! : )
OK you need to stop calling this "blurry nonsense" right now. It is gorgeous, it has that lovely painterly quality that gives it the feeling of a very fleeting, very special moment captured almost as though it was a dream.
What a beautiful mistake, Shanny! The blur/softness suits the subject very well - it feels like one imagines the fur of a fawn might feel like. And there's just enough of a look from the fawn in the back, looking at you, maybe, to add another bit of interest to the shot. Add in your shutter speed and aperture, please, and indicate (if you remember) if you moved the camera, and which way. It looks as though it was swept from top to bottom or vice versa.
