Red Deer (Kronhjort)

25 Sep 2008

Yesterday afternoon and evening a friend and I spent in Dyrehaven, just north of Copenhagen, Denmark. It's a fenced area covering approximately 11 square kilometers which is maintained pretty much as a natural forest. In the area you find a deer population of around 2000 animals. The animals (especially the Red Deer it seemed) are rather unafraid of humans, so the area offers great opportunities to photograph them. We ended up spending most of our time around this male Red Deer. The images were shot using my old Canon EOS 10D, since the 40D had an accident involving salt water recently. More on that event will come shortly.

Hi...


I don´t know if you want me to do this in english or in swedish, but both languages is okey by me, so I´ll do this one in english...

I just love those pics and I don´t mind that they are taken in captivity. You mentioned that thoise animals where rather "tame" but who cares as long as you show this kind of high quality pictures ? Next autumn I will go there too, because I just love Red deers and as I said - I don´t care if they are taken in captivity as long as they are as good as those pics... So - I´ll get back to you in about 10-11 mounths about this topic and we might arrange something toghter ?

Any language you like will be fine! The reason I post a lot in English is that a good portion of my web site visitors are from outside Sweden, including some friends and family that do not speak Swedish.

Thanks for the comment, it would be great fun to go there together!
