This is the young photographer with a nice lens that caused us to stop and scan the distance to see what had him so intrigued. It was a big bull elk which, at that moment wasn't very close at hand. We saw the direction the elk was heading and knew there was a short "loop" road that would take us closer to him. For the next fifteen minutes I snapped photo after photo. Before it was all said and done, the elk was only a distance of about two feet from the driver's side window of our truck, at which point he lowered his antlers and feinted a warning for us to move on. (No, we weren't harassing him by any means. He had voluntarily come that close to the road we were on!) Too close for a photo with my 600mm lens and happened too fast anyway. I remembered the challenge here to photograph a photographer. So, here's what will probably be my one and only offering. lol Best on black! P.S. See my main album for the photo of "Harold" the bull elk.
@olivetreeann Thank you, Ann! That new 600 lens I now have is definitely not for the weak-armed or weak-handed! So far i have only used it few times where I can support it on something. :-) I have a tripod but have not really gotten into using it yet. My photography opportunities have been more of the spontaneous nature, grabbed while we are enroute to somewhere and not out to specifically take photos, as in the Bison Range. They (the overseers of the Range) have gotten a bit more restrictive about how and where photographers can even set up a tripod. :-(
