Majestic Red Deer Stag in Bradgate Park - Various Poses - Taken at Bradgate Park / Leicestershire - UK
Photographing in natural light is full of unpredictability, which many photographers find both challenging and thrilling. Through my journey in nature photography, I’ve gained the experience to create specific atmospheres and translate my ideas into images. Autumn days in England are often a mix of fleeting sunlight breaking through clouds, and this morning was no exception. A quick glance at the weather report promised sunny conditions until midday.
As I arrived at Bradgate Park, I was warmly greeted by my fellow photographer, Deepak Samani, who mentioned that the red deer, after grazing in herds, were preparing to cross the Lin River—the shortest river in Leicestershire. With the soft sunlight streaming directly towards us, I caught a glimpse of the large silhouettes of the majestic red stag.
Deepak and I hadn’t seen each other for a while, and we soon found ourselves engrossed in a conversation about mirrorless cameras. About an hour later, groups of red deer began approaching the Lin River, preparing to cross. The scene was breathtaking. During the 3.5-hour tour, I didn’t walk much, but I must admit I was thoroughly engaged. A solitary Stonechat caught my attention and had me chasing it for quite some time!
I’ve uploaded 12 of my photos to my Flickr account and hope you enjoy and evaluate them. The standout images include a large red stag, gracefully leading its harem across the water while sipping from the river, framed by the glowing autumn hues in the background. These moments once again reminded me of the privilege of photographing in natural light and how it transforms a scene into something magical.
Wishing you all a good evening.
I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.
