and in the distance Muntjac.............

I've been stalking these woods a while now for a glimpse of the reported Deer, on a day when I had only my X 10 and two dawgs I had to be happy with a distance shot, now I know they are there maybe I'll have to spend some time geared up..

Nicely-framed shot!

 

[Brian Moore]

I think this is a really excellent shot, Kev. The corridor of trees leads yer eye as if down a tunnel right at that wee dear in the distance. Its almost like a drawing or an HDR image. It very good indeed!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

What Brian said - excellent use of forced perspective Kev

Good job he had a white bum (the deer, not Brian) otherwise he's be hard to spot!

 

[Bryan Hunt]

Nice shot Kev

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, It's a nice photo even without elusive little dear at the end of the row of trees!
I'd be pretty chuffed to have gotten that shot!
Where abouts is this then?

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks All, this area has recently been coppiced and thinned out so is being better managed, I guess that's why the deer have found it a good grazing area, in the summer they will be pretty difficult to find I'm guessing...

Hamish, from Pershore Bridge follow the River downstream (turn right at Bridge ) over the first meadow. )

 

[Hamish Gill]

I know...
... Was in pershore the other week for the first time in ages... It's quite nice these days eh?
Went for a few Guinness in the angel, it was really nice in there!! (I think the angel, the one opposite broad st?) then went for a filet steak in the place above where video rental place used to be? Bloody lovely it was!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Hamish you must be earning well to afford the Angel and Whistlers.., could have called me

 

[Hamish Gill]

I thought about it Kev, But I was on my brothers stag do...
Whistlers, that was it... You know (they think) it's a posh resturant when the steak comes on a wooden chopping board! It was good though!!

 

[Kev Pugh]

TYhats Ok Matey but just remember the poor old chap in the vin could do with taking out occasionally

 

[Darren Turner]

wow...........love this.........the Deer does really make this special, love the treatment on them trees

I so lurve this X10

 

[Thomas brookes]

Did you shoot it after?? Very very nice kev. I was going to use forced perstpective as a was reading about it the other day but dodders beat me to it!

 

[Kev Pugh]

No Tom they live for another day....

 

[Brian Moore]

To my knowledge you've never seen my bum, Chris.

 

[Pete Askew]

Worth the wait though Kev. I like the environmental context - and probably more than if you'd gotten closer or used a longer lens.
