Hi,

A recent accident has unfortunately left my right hand with severed arteries, tendons and nerves to most of my fingers making any photography in the near future impossible , Blimmin' inconvenient with the rutting season just around the corner
Anyway, gives me plenty of time to get some of last years images processed
This was taken at that well known London location and was one from a series of shots at dusk, just prior to the deer mating.

LARGER VERSION

All comments always welcome and appreciated.

Sorry to hear that, hope you can get it righted.

Great shot too, obviously mouse movement is not an issue ;)

obviously mouse movement is not an issue

Actually it's easier than I thought using the mouse with the left hand Using my new graphics tablet is another matter entirely

Hope you get well soon mate, and can get back out there,
Superb shot by the way

Sorry to hear the bad news Justin, hope it heals quickly.
This is a lovely image, you've captured them perfectly.
Well done.

Geoff.

Lovely light and tender moment captured. I hope your hand heals very soon Justin all the best

A very good shot and excellent light


I too hope that you are back out shooting soon

Sounds like a nasty accident, and hope you recover from it soon.
Lovely interaction in the shot; well up to your usual standard.

All the best from across the pond-hope you get sorted soon and give us some more great Roe images

Hi Justin,

Get well soon as I really enjoy your Roe Deer images.

Great image in tremendous light.

I like the composition of this one and the light sets it off perfectly. I can only echo everybody else in wishing you a speedy recovery - what a nightmare.

Sorry to hear you're injured Justin
Just remember though that with your drive and enthusiasm for this photography thing even if you lost your arm you'd still find a way to take superb shots.

Thanks John R

Thanks John. I can't wait to get back out there looking for some Roe deer

Sorry to hear about your hand Justin. Hope everything heals up quickly & you're back shooting soon. If you can manage to get the gear out and about with you and you've still got any of your hide sites, then it might be worth you trying a cable release for focus/shutter.

Thanks Nick, that's a good idea with the remote release

Hello Justin.

Sorry some how missed this image.

Its beautifully captured and the lighting is very nice, as is the composition.

Hope you hand heals nicely and soon.

Thanks Guy
