I was lucky to photograph this Whitetail Buck running through the water. I had just pulled into the parking area for the Phillip Parks Memorial Fishing Pier at Reeves Slough (Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge) when I saw two Bucks running through the water. I quickly got parked and got my camera ready just as the two Bucks were exiting the water. I then noticed another Buck entering the water at a run, and I captured the below photo.
How I Got The Shot – Buck Running Through Water
I was using a Canon EOS 7D Mark II camera with a Canon EF500mm f/4L IS USM lens. I also had a Canon 1.4x III extender attached to the lens. I had this setup resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup. This was at 8:27 A.M. on April 28, 2018.
