Description: This is the second video from a weekend in the Scottish Highlands looking for red deer during the rut with John Barrass, a wildlife photographer from the North East of England. The deer are absolutely spectacular at this time of year and I was really keen to photograph some roaring stags, and get some audio footage too. We got some great photos on our first day out, but I still hadn't managed to get close enough to record the video and audio of a stag roaring, so on day 2 we set out again to see what we could find. First we looked around in the glen where we'd stayed overnight, then at the Kingshous Hotel, and after that in a more familiar area... Finally, tired and hungry after a long day out, we got the roaring red deer stag encounter we'd been hoping for 😊

As in part 1, I used the 500mm PF lens on the Nikon Z7 almost exclusively, and had the (recently repaired) Røde Videomic Pro for audio. Those make a great lightweight setup that can be used handheld or on a tripod, so it's good for walking around as well as shooting from the car etc..
