Photography Workshops Organized to Photograph the Bugle of Red Deer in France

The Bugle of the Red Deer Stage: an Animal Behavior Inspiring for Wildlife Photographers

From mid-September to late October, this is the mating season for the red deer in France. To seduce does the males shout different sounds. Several regions are deemed to listen to the bugle. The Charente-Maritime is one of them. From North to South of the region; it is possible to hear these cries and these songs which are modulated according to different situations.

There are 5 different bugle:

• The presence bugle is short and brief. The deer uses it to signal its presence.
• The bugle of languor. It is a melancholy cry that indicates that the deer did not find any doe to satisfy his instinct.
• The challenging bugle. It is a powerful cry that the deer grows when he wants to fight another deer.
• The pursue bugle. This is a set of light cries emitted by the deer when pursuing a doe to mate.
• The triumph bugle. This is the cry of the winner of a fight.

During the bugle, old males replenish herds of does. We can count up to 30 females. Young deer try to build a herd by challenging old. This is an opportunity to take pictures of fierce fighting during which deer can get stuck and die of exhaustion. Deer are so excited they plow the fields with their antlers.

The activity of these deer for a month is summarized in three words: mating, monitoring and defense of the herd. They lose weight dramatically. They become weak. This is an opportunity for young red deer to try to conquer does.

The Techniques for Photographing the Bugle of the deer

During the photography workshop dedicated on the bugle, I address the following points:

• creating hiding blind with foliage.
• using different technical approaches with the proper use of wind and sun.
• properly composing wildlife photographs to manage great impact.
• properly managing the backgrounds to highlight subjects.
• properly managing the photo workflow for wildlife photographs.

Before every photo session, I define areas of several dozen hectares for each photographer. Like that I avoid the trainees to interfere in the field.

I am available to accompany every photographer on the field. Whatever happens, I always go with the participants for the first two photo sessions. Indeed forests and grasslands are extensive. Learning remarkable geographic points is essential.

Creating Great Photos of Red Deer Stags in Their Natural Environment

The bugle is a major event for wildlife photographers. If you already have some experience with photography and you want to improve your technique on very particular points, then this trip is perfect for your needs. Since the number of participants that I take is limited, you are guaranteed to learn the specific information you want.

This trip is not only an adventure that you will share with other photographers. It is also a time during which you can ask any technical questions you want to address. At the end of the workshop, you will leave with an improved photographic approach.

Every day, I will review everyone’s photos. In addition to giving tips for improvement, I will provide technical presentations on topics that the participants are interested in.

A Perfect Mix of Holiday and Learning Experience

Participating in this photography trip with me is the best way to meet other photographers who love the wonders of nature while learning new skills in a pleasant, relaxing environment. You will enjoy this holiday where you can exchange your inspirations, impressions, and technical insights with other photographers who share your interests.

The places you will go have been selected to meet the unique needs of wildlife photographers. This is the advantage of a trip organized by photographers.

I am familiar with the area where I will take you. The sites I have chosen are gorgeous. The wildlife is fabulous, the landscapes are unique. It will be a delight for anyone who loves nature's beauties.

Sharing My Passion for the Wonders of Nature

My goal is to help you to focus your attention on the wonders of nature. I will teach you how to create beautiful wildlife photographs and avoid asking you unnecessary questions.
