Richmond Park this morning had none of it’s usual picturesque fog, it was overcast at daybreak, and the light was quite dull. All the deer that I could see were under the tree canopy where it’s even duller. My tripod was not with me on this occasion, and so missed a few because of that, so serve me right I guess.
So it wasn’t ideal, having 1/90th for most of the time using ISO 800-1600 and a non-VR lens. But I did manage some good pictures by resting on dead wood and trees for stabilisation.
One benefit of not having a tripod – I can get lower easier.
Taken using a Nikon D700 with a 300 f4.0 lens at f/4.8, 1/90 and ISO 800
