Polish Nature - Deers In The Fog

Hi Friends!

This was the most magical night in the forest I had this year!

The conditions were perfect - weather was stable, no wind, no rain, clear and starry sky, full moon light and gathering fog on the fields...

The silence of the night was interrupted only by the roaring deer on the rut.
All of these shots You could watch on my video which You can find in my previous post.

To capture these images I had to use my longest lens 300mm and try to shoot longer exposure times from a tripod.

On my luck the light from the fullmoon was strong enough I could see the shapes in a distance so the only tricky thing was to capture still images with proper set of focus. On my camera I had to use manual focus as it was way too dark for auto-focus to work properly.

Two big flocks of deer were walking on the meadow in a distance of around 200-300 meters from my car. They saw my position unfortunately and were afraid to approach closer. My car was visible in a light of the moon... Next time I will have to plan my position better to become invisible and get closer to the animals.

I think I don't have to say it was an amazing experience! The sounds of roaring deer You can hear on the video I posted before. Check it out to feel the mood of that night.
