A great wildlife photo isn’t just about gear—it’s about respect, patience, and the quiet moment when a Fallow deer forgets you’re there.

Capture More Than Just Portraits:
•Look for #interaction shots—#deer grooming, fighting, or #running through the #dunes.

The Dutch dunes in winter are a canvas, and Fallow deer the brushstrokes of nature’s silent masterpiece.

Observe and Predict Deer Behavior:

• Watch for patterns—they often take the same trails and feeding spots.

Essential photography tips to help you get stunning shots:
In February, the winter sun is low, creating beautiful soft lighting without harsh shadows.

February light softens the rugged dunes, framing the elegance of a lone Fallow deer—an image only patience and the perfect lens can capture.
Tip: Avoid cluttered or distracting backgrounds—position yourself where the dunes, grass, or trees naturally frame the deer.
