Photography- one photo a day

[RS_Non-Res]

Not such a fabulous picture (it's a recent scan from Ektachrome), but a great moment.
This uncropped photo was taken with my Nikkormat FT3 and a 35 mm lens, along the Highline Trail in central Wyoming, in June back in the day. Evidently the moose don't have a bad attitude in the summer. We had our backpack waist belts undone and using only one shoulder strap because there were three more behind me. Not sure why we had to walk the trail through the middle of them, we could have bushwhacked around either side. My buddy who was a dairy farmer kept saying "easy cow, easy" later justifying himself by saying "all ungulates are the same."

I have a few to share today. The first is special because this was literally the only calf we could find in Yellowstone yesterday, and we saw a lot of bison. This has to be one of the first ones. Taken with a 600mm lens. My dear wife did some weird edit to it but it still pretty cool.



Now the next two are special because this was our first real attempt using the Kowa spotter with the camera. I am not using a camera lens here, but the eyepiece of the scope. Focusing is the biggest challenge but I am happy with the results. Both subjects were several hundred feet away.

The glowing pastel orange is snow, and you can see a heavier shower just in front of the Wellsville Range. The falling snow created an incredibly beautiful 3D effect that just doesn't show up on a 2D representation.

This was "Day One" of a 6-week trip up around Reindeer Lake. We were wet-footin' upstream through those riffles and somebody stepped in a hole, tipped the boat the wrong way, and everything got wet. Life got cozy kinda quick that trip. Had my first ever moose sighting another day when we were drifting into a shallow bay hunting northern's when a big rock just stood up out of the lake and moseyed into the woods.
