Hi everyone

Talking about luck?
Well,i`m concentrated and shooting Stag #1 , a few seconds later i see addlers appearing from the middle of nowhere (very high grass).
If that wasn`t enough , a few seconds later and to my surprise...a rooster from a nearby farm turns up and lines with the 2 stags.
Were they all looking for a photoshoot?

Talking about luck eh ? i just couldn`t believe it. :lol:

All taken with the 70-300 IS and tamron 1.4 TC

That's amazing Dimitri - you must be living right. The key here though is that unlike me, you were ready and captured the moment. I'm always about 30 seconds too late! Great job.

Great to capture a stag and so close up as well.
This is indeed one lucky shot, well done Dimitri.
