nice one Rob. thanks for the quick darkroom lesson

i dont think ive ever seen a wild deer before. dont want to jinx it but will a 70-200 be sufficient?

it's an amazing experience, especially when a BIG Red Stag is bellowing a few metres away - makes you feel very small!

thanks chaps, I managed to reel off 400 pictures this morning, ive only looked at a few, it was well worth getting up at 6 for, anyway last couple I promise

I personally prefer a bit of environment in my shots, so I would have thought you'll be OK with a 70-200

^^^I love the camo look this one's gone for!

and a very dodgy video, kind of my first go at a video so its a bit out of focus in places which may make you feel a bit sea sick....

this shot is a corker - I'm going to Richmond this weekend rain or shine now, all these deer pics have teased me enough!

have the red deer finished their rut this year? normally fallows are rutting about two weeks after the big reds.

I had heard that the Reds at Richmond hadn't really got into the swing of full rutting yet - knowing my lousy luck they'll have all done it this week and I'll just get shots of Hareem hustling!

Anyone want to buy a brand new Epson 3880 A2 printer? I tried to sell it a while ago but while moving house stopped trying. I'm dropping the price to £600, preferably the buyer collects.

hopefully your right, I find with the fallow deer that they rut around about the 18-26th October each year after a clear cold night, one of the park rangers told me that a few years ago and hes been right for the last three, I went to Knole on Sunday morning and it was a warmish cloudy morning and no action going on, just 30ish photographers standing around waiting, when this morning it was bloody cold and not a soul about, just a hundred deer and me, lovely.
