Buck in the Park + extra pic
One from a trip to Bradgate Park very early Saturday. The light was stunning misty and defused.

I will have a few more to bore you with later in the week :biggrin:

I was going to post a landscape shot but having seen Geoffs I thought better of it

D700
400mm 2.8 with 1.4 TC
1/125 sec at f4 ISO 200
Tripod
Very small crop
Processed in NX2

Wow Ian, I really like this, it has a kind of 3D look to it :smile:

I like the light background and even the rock and bush are well placed as they act as stops to keep the eye focussed on the deer.
Exposure must have been difficult but you've got it spot on here.

Glad you like my landscape, I must be doing something right then :wink:
Well captured.

Geoff.

Great light!

As has been said before, the light is really nice on this one. It's a shame that the bucks head is in line with his shoulders/back. I can see it is walking towards you so did he at any time become aware of you and lift his head?
