From a trip around the coast of Arran. The deer are at a villiage called Lochranza and the island in the background of the seals is Ailsa Craig, the granite spire where most of the worlds curling stones originate :)

No. 6 is great. No 4 is my favourite out of the seal shots.

Sounds like you had a good time.

#6 is great. Interested in how long you had to wait to get that shot. I camped out for about 2 hours to get a deer shot that is nowhere near as good as that.

Top work.

I got within about 9 seconds of first seeing there was a stag and pointing my camera towards it. He cleared off after that, taking a small bunch of select females with him.
The deer are very tame in general and even come down into the village, right next to the road and houses to graze
