When the Digital SLR is too Loud

Doe and 2 Fawns - Copyright Nate Sullivan 2007

While hiking this weekend I stumbled upon this doe and her two fawns.

At 50 yards I wasn’t at a perfect range for my Nikon 18-70mm lens, but I decided to snap a shot before I got too close. That’s when I realized how absolutely loud the shutter is on a digital SLR. Ughh! Luckily I was able to get this picture, because the next second they were gone.

Perhaps someday the engineers at Nikon will take the single-lens-reflex out of the digital SLR.
