We stayed at the Caravan Club site in the old kitchen garden of Chatsworth park for my birthday (photos of new kitchen garden, laters). So I thought I'd try out the 400 mm lens for the first time, which I bought the other month. Of course as soon as I was out the gate into the park this stag led his herd of deer at a cracking pace about 300 m away. No time to set anything up, I just clicked away.

It was educational trying out this enormous lens on an inadequate tripod. I now know that I really do need a quality professional tripod to support maybe four kg of kit. The wind just has to blow slightly for this tripod to wobble.
