    Love these. Can you provide a bit more detail on your processing? Was it really that foggy? I love the atmosphere.

    Yes, London is experiencing a great deal of fog at the moment, hence my reason for seeking out these deer shots. Processed in LR, mainly increasing contrast, clarity and blacks to bring out the deer from the haze. Tweaked the white balanced to give it a more autumnal hue.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Terrific shots! You must have been pretty close to get some of these. How did you do it without spooking the deer?

    I think the deer are fairly used to people wandering around their territory but even so having a zoom lens helped me keep a respectful distance. They largely ignored me. :)

    Great shots with almost a painted feel to them. That buck has got an amazing rack...I'm thinking like 15 points. I would have to say that this must be a protected area with no hunting. Deer manage to figure out where they're protected pretty well. I used to have access to an area that surrounded a reservoir and there was totally no hunting...except an organized hunt when the deer population needed thinning out. If you happened to be on one of the hiking trails, you could come upon a herd and they generally wouldn't just bolt. They would maintain a distance and just stand there watching you. I remember doing some benchmark hunting in this area and having this experience. Unfortunately, I wasn't carrying a decent camera at the time.
