HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH THE RED DEER RUT-RICHMOND PARK

This video covers how to photograph the red deer rut at Richmond Park in London. I look at the camera settings for wildlife photography as well as field craft needed to photograph and film deer. I also look at some of the biology of both red deer and fallow deer.
This video is full of stills images of red and fallow deer and well as slow motion footage and real speed footage of both these species of deer.
Richmond park is a wonderful place to watch photograph and film deer. I was privileged to witness to red deer having a full on rut. These fights typically don't last very long. It's a test of strength for the deer. They don't want to keep going longer than necessary because series injury is a distinct possibility. I also saw a full on rut with two fallow deer. This lasted for about ten minutes which again was amazing to watch film and photograph. Because these deer are smaller and have less pointed antlers they aren't so worried about series injury occurring during a long fight. It was still very dramatic to witness.
