In October Bracknell Camera Club’s Scapers Special Interest Group enjoyed their monthly walk – this time an outing to Windsor Great Park.  The aim was to capture something of the deer rut.  The trip was led by BCC member Nikos Polydorou who regularly posts on We Love Bracknell and is known for his charity fund raising.  

As it happened, we did not have to walk far along the Long Walk before we spotted the herd of red deer.  They were browsing to the east of the path just below Snow Hill.  They spotted us almost straight away so we kept a safe distance and used long lens to capture images of the deer.  

This was also a great opportunity to capture the autumn colours which were particularly spectacular looking down along the avenues either side of the Long Walk.

The day was mild with much cloud cover providing us with a soft lightbox under which to capture our images without the challenge of sunshine creating harsh contrast.  

Satisfied we had managed to bag some pleasing shots we retraced our steps back to the carpark and set off for lunch at The Duke of Edinburgh in Winfield.  We can always rely on Nikos for finding a great pub after we have built up an appetite.  A very pleasant morning was spent by all.
