I’ve posted a couple of these shots previously, but I’ve recently had time to go through and edit some of the other photos taken during the same burst.
Here I tracked a wild roe deer with my Niko Z8 and 400mm F4.5, after it spotted me and bolted. Conditions were great, with a clear view and the sun low in the evening sky, allowing for some lovely colours and interesting lighting.
I think these might be the best roe deer photos I’ve taken. Portrait shots are all well and good, but I think the best wildlife photography shows more than just a nice closeup of the animal - them eating, hunting, fighting, flying, etc. As such, I’m really pleased to capture this deer ‘in flight’.
