The Charge...
50D, 400/2.8, Tripod + BWG-HD.
ISO400, 1/800 @ f4.5
ACR5.3 + resize + sharpen CS4
Slight crop.

Hi,

No dramatic lighting here... we all tend to concentrate on the larger more impressive Reds, forgetting that the Fallow Deer also Rut at about the same time so, on Saturday, rather than head of for breakfast we spent a bit of time at one of the Fallow rutting stands.

This is one from a burst (remarkably all sharp) of one of the Bucks charging an intruder to his harem...

All the best

Phil

Very nice indeed Phil, this chap really looks as though he means business. As you say these guys are frequently overlooked so it's good to see something a little different.

Glad to see you got some processing done :biggrin:

First with a bit of movement I think. What happened to the rider?
Well done Phil.
