Red deer on the oats

[hotspur]

Nabbed this young red deer-a stag on the oats this morning,with one of my trail cameras.The image is a still from a short video.How many more can you see on the dam down the hill-he has a few mates too.

Nice! Which lens did you use to grab the shot?

I used a 'trail camera',these are remote activated cameras,they have a sensor that pick ups movement/heat,and that activates the camera-or in this case a 1 minute video clip-this is a still frm the clip.Quite pleased to get an image,I had four cameras on the oats,another had photos,but got dew on cleans so a bit foggy.

Lots of work,goes into setting up cameras-usually tied on tree etc,and working out angles etc etc,basically 'composing' the image with forward thinking.I've invested in some more expensive trail cameras lately,so will hopefully see some results soon.

Wow that's pretty detailed. Looking forward to seeing some more!
