When your target subject can be found in a variety of locations, try the location with the most attractive environment first. The low growth in this field turns red and purple in the fall, making it a perfect choice for white-tailed deer photography. And, the subjects were cooperative this afternoon.
One of the cool features deer (and many other animals) possess is the ability to make their hair stand straight out. Yeah, what if people could do that? This buck marched in from far across the field to exert his dominance over another buck I was photographing, and as the dominant buck approached, he raised his hair to appear larger and more intimidating.
While this shot seems not to have required the performance of the Canon EOS R1, this was the only moment the buck looked at me with both ears forward, and the R1's fast continuous frame rate ensured that the perfect look was captured.
Deciding where to place the buck in the frame was continuously on my mind as it approached. Usually, I prefer to leave more space toward the side of the frame the body is facing and more space toward the side the head is looking at.
In this case, the head is facing the camera, calling for a centered framing, and the background has the symmetry that usually supports a centered subject. The deer's body is moderately pointed toward the viewer's left, calling for a little extra space on the left side for an overall balanced image.
Other moments with different angles and background variations called for other framing, and the R1's Eye Control and Eye Detection AF allowed instant changes.

Upon finding this whitetail buck eating berries, I knew the shot I wanted. Patience paid off, and he eventually chose to eat the overhead berries to check that box.
I frequently talk about the background of an image, and here the green lichens-covered tree trunks add color that is indicative of this park. The lens took care of blurring those trees and the rest of the background, making the deer and berries he was eating stand out.
I was alternating between the EOS R1 and the EOS R5 Mark II on this trip, looking for performance differentiators, especially in regard to AF. The two cameras' AF systems performed similarly, with little difference being realized.

PROGRADE DIGITAL™ ANNOUNCES PG20 PRO THUNDERBOLT™ 4 HUB

San Jose, CA January 7, 2025, 8:00 am PT — ProGrade Digital™, founded with a mission to provide the highest quality professional grade digital memory cards, workflow solutions, and solid-state drives announces its new PG20 Pro Thunderbolt 4 Hub. The PG20 Pro Hub is based on the latest Thunderbolt 4 technology which is designed to achieve 40Gbits/sec transfer speeds. It is equipped with one Thunderbolt 4/USB 4.0 85W charging upstream port, three Thunderbolt 4/USB 4.0 15W downstream ports, and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, enabling users to have additional ports available for use. Its unique design offers a magnetic top base, specifically engineered for attaching up to two ProGrade Digital readers which can be connected using the 6” custom-designed, high-performing short cables (sold separately). The PG20 Pro Hub is also equipped with a patented magnetic base and comes with an adhesive metal plate that allows users to mount the hub to any work surface. The PG20 Pro Hub is also supplied with a high-quality certified Thunderbolt 4 cable – assuring the maximum performance possible. The hub can also be combined with the PG10.5, Pro Mini SSD that also mounts seamlessly to the top of the hub. The PG30, Ultra-Portable SSD can utilize the Front Type-A port or the back Type-C port for quick file transfer. The PG10.5 and the PG30 will be shipping in Q1. The PG20 Hub is shipping now.
“We are extremely excited to be announcing our entry into the complementary category of Thunderbolt hubs to our line of professional workflow solutions”, said Wes Brewer, Founder and CEO of ProGrade Digital Inc. “While the marketplace of Thunderbolt 4 based hubs is fairly crowded, we have spent the time to think about how professionals work with our card readers and what they need to maintain a clean workspace in designing our new PG20 Pro Hub. Utilizing our patented magnetic base, we have enabled the customization of how professionals can mix and match their card readers while also enabling a very clean workspace. With the three downstream Thunderbolt 4/USB 4.0 ports, the hub can support two of our USB readers while still having one port available for attaching other peripherals like our PG10 Professional SSD.”

- One Thunderbolt 4/USB 4.0 85W charging upstream port
