Stag Stalking..

I would like to say I spent hours stalking this fine specimen across the mountainside, just keeping below the skyline, downwind, waiting for the perfect moment to get the shot (with camera)

But it wasn't quite like that..

Actually I was just sitting on a picnic bench at Applecross, drinking coffee and eating an apple when this dude just sauntered over to us and sat down not more than 10 yards away.. Luckily I had the trusty Nikon Df with me with the 85mm Portrait lens attached and managed to fire off quite a few frames while he posed..

As payment I gently threw him the rest of my apple which he seamed to enjoy eating before calmly getting up and walking off back to where ever he came from..
