Watchers {Explored} (best when L is pressed)
A group of deer high on the Northern face of Camaderry Co Wicklow. I had seen this group as I was on the way up but they kept moving just out of range. I managed to work my way downwind of them and got within a 100m at this point where they had stopped on the top of a butress and got a couple of shots before they dropped out of sight. Not a great shot - I think the sky lets it down and it is not very sharp - but for me it captures the wildness of this less commonly ascended part of the mountain
Shot with a Nikon D5000 with a Nikkor 55-200 @ 200 f11 1/50
I was wearing merino base layers, Polartec mid layer, a 750 fill down jacket and a ME hardshell and the cold was still getting through when I stopped moving ;-)
Winter is really biting now and the Dublin Wicklow and Glen Imaal mountain rescue teams have had a busy weekend in Wicklow
