Red deer silhouette
Very pleased with this shot because our red deer are very difficult to get. When you get them in this light your not only very lucky but also very very happy.

iso 200 1/40 sec. f/5.6 full frame. Nikon D3 and Nikon 200-400. From a self build hide onder a tree.

I tried to translate to Dutch-English with google translate but it tells a different story. It even said I was crying when I broke my mates camera :biggrin:

Well...The jetty collapsed and Han was falling in the water with his Nikon D700 and Sigma 300-800. I was on the raft beneath him all morning but decided it was getting to risky because the raft was old and it did almost capsize. So I got on the jetty behind Han and then it....bang!!!!

Google translate is a bit hit and miss!!
Bet you're glad you got off when you did,a laurel and hardy moment!!!

Even without the story it's a great shot Ed. :toast:

You do suffer for your art don't you? I can remember seeing you hanging close to a cliff edge on Gt Saltee. You be careful out there. :smile:

This is a real beauty! The wisps of cloud are a nice bonus.
