Had the opportunity to use the 800 today and was lucky in finding a few good looking Bucks. It's not as cold as it should be for the time of year, (par for the course now, ), but generally, if I want to find them in the winter, any edge of woodland/field is a good place to start as their eating habits change, after the gluts of autumn nuts.
This was where the 800 shined as they are quite skittish and will be off the second I move into their "zone", so the 800 gave me a decent working distance without any disturbance. Z9 and 800 1/125 F8 at ISO 500. (was using higher iso but once it was happy enough with my distance, I dropped the iso for IQ preferences). Showing off its lovely antlers. Please feel free to view uncompressed. Link to high rez HERE Thanks for looking. Tomorrow I'll show one of the bucks passing through woodland. (easier to get closer as more cover, but the 800 then seems a bit too long?). David Fletcher Moderator. Birds, Photo & Digital Art
