Deer Stalk

Deer Stalk

Sometimes the efforts I go to to get good wildlife photographs for my paintings can seem a little odd to the uninitiated.
We had some friends from London staying and they were a little surprised when, after spotting some deer in a field nearby, I climbed into camouflage, abandoned the Sunday roast and headed off to photograph them. I then spent the evening playing hide and seek with this roe doe as she emerged from this cover strip.But the effort was worth it for these photographs. For more on the adventure click here to read my column in the Yorkshire Post this month.
