Venue Tatton Park, Cheshire
Deer Rut Photography Session. This is a 3 hour session where you have the chance to photograph the majestic red deer and their friends the fallow during rutting season in the beautiful grounds of Tatton Park. Read More
We meet at 9am and you'll be driven around the park on one of the trailer, which means we can cover more ground than on foot. Depending where the deer are, we may get off the trailer and walk short distances. You'll be accompanied by our tutor Andy Lowe, who will help and advise on the photography aspects and also one of the Rangers at the park, who know where to find the deer and will tell you all about the deer and their habits. As this session is on a trailer for the majority of the time, it is also suitable for those people who are less mobile. To get the most from the session, you'll need to be comfortable shooting in Aperture priority and have a 200mm, 400mm or 500mm lens.
