HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH THE RED DEER RUT-RICHMOND PARK

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.

Well done Steve, another great video. Some of those adult stags are big fellas and best seen on the other end of a telephoto lens.

Great video Steve, not been to Richmond for a few years, last time I went was a Weekend in the rut and it was a bit to busy for me, with a crowd near every bellowing male which put me off TBH. Might have to go back for another go next year though after watching this
