Behind The Lens
Location
I shot this picture in the Amsterdam water supply dunes, a varied dune area between Zandvoort and Noordwijk, in the Netherlands.Time
The photo was taken around 11 a.m.Lighting
the photo was taken at the edge of the forest, where the light was not optimal, so the ISO had to be raisedEquipment
Nikon D500 with Tamron 150-600 f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2, op 280 mm ( 35mm = 420 mm), f/6.3, 1/1600sec, iso 6400, taken out of hand.Inspiration
This photo "Fallow deer" was taken during the rutting season of the fallow deer, the deer then migrate to a fixed area within the water supply dunes. This impressive spectacle with noisy grunting can often be heard from afar. During this period, males look their most imposing, like the male in the photo, who was keeping a close eye on the competition from the edge of the forest. The rutting season, which takes place in the second half of October, keeps the male constantly busy. He has to keep all the hinds together and fend off the competition, resulting in impressive fights.Editing
I slightly cropped the photo and lightened the shadows a bitIn my camera bag
meestal fotografeer ik met deze combinatie van de Nikon D500 en de Tamron 150-600 mm, maar ook is er regelmatig een Nikon D5500 in mijn tas te vinden met een Tamron 90mm F/2.8 SP Di Macro of een SIGMA 10-20MM F/3.5 EX DC HSM and of course extra batteries and memory cardsFeedback
Many fallow deer walk in this area, the deer are used to people, so you can get close to the deer, but always keep a proper distance from the animals, respect that you are in their habitat
