    Oh aye, I meant to say - great shots indeed! Were you out long taking them?

    Indeed! So far I've not met many out in the open (though I did nearly cycle into one yesterday morning) - but that's more an artefact of the time that I'm out in the field than anything else. Learning their routes and what sorts of times they move out of cover is another reason I was wanting to learn more about the fieldcraft side of things.

    Afternoon, folks! I'm a novice wildlife photographer who loves getting in amongst the wildlife - it all started hiding under a wool blanket waiting for deer to appear, only for me to wait three hours, get bored, stand up, and discover they were 20m behind me! Of course, by the time I realised, got over my shock, and grabbed the camera they were long-gone! Sure, I may not be a traditional hunter, but that doesn't mean I don't hunt! ... poorly, because I'm a novice! I originally posted on a camera forum (the obvious place for anything photographic!) - but I noticed that my wildli
