You never forget the first time a deer approaches you it happened to me as I sat along side of a small pond photographing a doe. She was curious about me and walked into the water and directly towards me. My heart was pounding and I was uneasy about her intentions. She was about 6 feet away from me, stopped and gave me a good look then moved on. It was a turning point in my wildlife photography. I spent the next four years learning the behaviors and understanding what to expect with her snd her group. The more time I spent with them the more they accepted my presence and the better my photographs became. Lovely video you shared best wishes for your future endeavors.

Essen, very good story! Yes, please do more videos like this one. I was captivated, on the edge of my chair, waiting for the next chapter in this story. Your images are breathtaking. Hearing about how you set the day up takes me back many years to a time when I had a similar experience planning a blind trip, far from my home to hope to capture a few good images of Bald Eagles. Thanks , again , for presenting your story. In a most captivating way!

Great photo Espen, really like this format where you talk through how you got the image as opposed to just going out & showing images that you managed to capture on a particular trip. Looking at an image & knowing the story of how that image was captured just adds more depth to it if that makes any sense. Looking forward to more content like this. I was wondering if you had thought about doing a similar video but about either Otters or Eagles? That would be great.
