This shot was taken this morning before work … I was up early and headed for the woods again, but seeing that I’ve finally figured out how to get to the Deer Sanctuary, I decided to go & have a look … … and I was in luck!! The light was golden, the air was hazy and dreamy from the night’s slumber … and the deer were visible from the fence !!! :)) What a delight! The sanctuary is not actually accessible, so I wandered along the fence, looking for good vantage points, trying hard to get clear shots through the tight mesh fence!
… and to think that an hour and a half after taking this shot I was sat at my desk in the square mile of London, processing applications for financial failure insurance …
29 September 2009 EOS 450D, f/5.6 @ 135 mm, 1/30, ISO 100
lovely shot… i gotta get my lazy ass up early some time soon ;o(
chuckles … Mark, I must say, the first few times I got up so early as to go for a walk in the forest before work, I was a right grouch about it … but I knew that once I was in the trot of it I’d be much happier for it … Now I’m loving it!! And autumn is going to be beautiful and offer loads of gorgeous images :) … … go on then, give it a go – you know it’ll be worth it!!
Whoa :) . . . i would have been late for work for sure lol . . . i think you might find youself there again eh Tina . . . wonderful capture :)
chuckles … the plan is, if the weather plays along this weekend, to head out with a thermos of coffee, something to snack on, something dry to sit on, an extra jacket & my fingerless gloves … head out before the crack of dawn so I’m ready for those beautiful pink displays I saw this morning as I was walking … and if sit and wait, won’t disturb the rabbits & might catch a few of those on image … and hopefully I’ll get some more shots of the deer … just wait for them and let the scene unfold, you know? … that’s the plan … ;) … let’s see how I go & what I come back back with after ;)

PS … I very nearly was late … ran all the way from the sanctuary back home … surprised myself at the sprint I could produce when I realised I had to ;)
Great shot!! ;)) Yes, I am sure I would have been late to work as well. Wonderful image!
LOL … well … put it this way … the glorious early morning is what got me through the rest of the day on a real high ;) thanks for your lovely comment Strolch :)
Sounds like you have a great weekend ahead for a shoot, and organised and planned, wonderful shot and such a delighful feel to this image and so close to you and in London. i must do a early stroll well drive to the beach sometime and take the sun rising or better till setting, as may be easier.
hmmmm you know what they say about even the best laid plans … but yes, that’s the idea, and then we’ll see what the weather & everything else does & play it by ear :) Will be fun whichever way, and I’ll find something to point my camera at, I’m sure ;)
mmmmhhhh so you’re going to show us beach sunrises & sunsets, yes? how cool is that :))
chuckles … weeeeeell … I’m practicing, but naturally, no … not made for early mornings ;) … trying to change that – the world is beautiful at that time :)
