Oh wow, this is crazy cool, and twice as good! Gotta ask where this was taken, and what lens did you use. I LOVE that we see the mountain goat from behind....looks majestic.
@ggshearron This was taken on a smokey fall afternoon at the top of Scotchman Peak (near Clark Fork, ID). I used my 24-105, f4, with this being taken @ 38mm, f10 on a crop body (57mm equivalent).
The Mt goats are always up there and they warn you not to get too close. They can be feisty, but usually they just want to lick the sweat off of you after the hike of just under 4 miles in which you gain 3700 feet of elevation (peak @ 6900ft). It is a a hard hike, but it is also amazing at the top.
@teriyakih thank you for the camera info, and I am officially scared of you now, as a hiker. Crazy impressive stuff, but make sure you keep making good decisions and be careful out there!
@ggshearron it was a pressing hike. I need to train back to to do this again. In general, 2x 1000 foot miles is considered the gold standard around here. Being double, this one pushed me to the edge.
