To photograph deer without startling them, approach slowly from downwind, wear neutral or earth-toned clothing, and stop moving the moment the deer looks up. Use a 200mm to 400mm telephoto lens so you can keep your distance. Set your shutter speed to at least 1/500s to freeze their movement.
To photograph in fog, use a wider aperture (f/5.6 to f/8), keep your ISO between 200 and 400, and set your shutter speed based on available light. A tripod is essential. Fog adds mood and depth to landscape shots that clear days simply cannot match.
