Thank you. First day shooting with a Prime - a 500 PF 5.6. I'm thinking it was the right tool for that last shot.
Thank you, Bill. No shortage of opportunities.
Thanks, Joe. A 500 PF has been on my list based on your shots along with a number of others in this Forum. After one day, I'm excited about the results. Was shooting the 80-400 so I appreciate the reduced bulk & weight. Hope you'll touch base when you're here in May. Happy to exchange a little acquired local knowledge.Beautiful set of shots. Ested Park is always a fun area to shoot with the elk, the closeness of RMNP, the peak to peak drive, and the gorgeous mountains. I love my 500mm PF and hope you get the same enjoyment with your, though sometime, the elk in the Ester Park are a little to close for that lens unless your want to count elk eyelashes!
Wife and I are very much looking forward to our visit to Longmont and our daughter in May!
Thanks, Jeff. Beautiful animals in a wonderful setting - exciting to capture.
I will keep you posted on our travel plans and schedule. First up will be Kearney, Nebraska and sandhill cranes in Early April, then Colorado in May.
We were at Estes Park / RMNP a couple years ago in the summer and it is beautiful. One of my "to do" list items is to get out there for the elk rut in the fall. We're planning to head to the Smoky Mountains for the fall elk rut this September/October but nowhere near the size and quality of bulls as you all have out west. I agree, beautiful animals.
There is a resident herd that is often in town at Estes Park blocking the roads, messing up the golf course and otherwise making great photography subjects. Our daughter got some great winter shots in RMNP which is just outside of Estes Park. I have previously posted some shots from Estes Park too.
