[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 580814, member: 15675"] A little story. It was 7h25 when I left the holiday home, a bit upset since I was running into the morninglight and wanted to beat it. I ran into the owner of the house we rented, while I was dressed in full camouflage, he understood what I was doing (we shortly discussed photography before). He asked if I would be successful shooting wildlife, I stated it was unlikely since I was late (actually the spot I saw I only saw deer in the evening dark and the approach is quite exposed). So he said he would be driving to work in 30 min and that he always say some deer at a certain spot, so I decided to take that as target. Obviously he was right (the next day the farmer had put his cows out on that field so no deer anymore). [ATTACH=CONFIG]227734._xfImport[/ATTACH] My car driving by did not scare them, so I parked a bit further after a hill. Took out my A7S (no direct sunlight and still early) with the 600mm f4 + TC2.0 EII (not clear how close I could get) on tripod and gimbal. The approach was difficult, since there were already a lot of leaves at the side of the road, I moved closer with every car that drove by (not many). At a certain moment there was the sound of a saw and I decided to use this as cover to approach still a bit. Wrong choice, one deer started running and 3 others followed. No more deer :( The next day I discussed with the owner and he thought I would be very happy with the site (he was one of the cars that I used as cover) and was a bit surprised I stated there was light lacking for good photography. He suggested to set up in the future a stake out at the domain of the castle in the next village, where the person taking care of the domain knows where the large deer go in the morning. I`ll try to take him up on that next time I go there outside of hunting season. For wildlife shooters, it is good to team up with local hunters, they do love the wildlife as well and know where to find it. [/QUOTE]
