It’s the rutting season in Colorado and the bull Elks are out doing their thing. Last Friday, after some serious hours at the day job, I got the day off and took advantage of the week day low-traffic to head to Estes Park and to Rocky Mountain National Park to see what kind of photography I could take.
It turns out that even with my okay wildlife lens, most of the elk were too far away for me to get the full frame shots that I would have liked to have taken. But then, I saw quite a few professional photographers in the park with their $10,000+ lenses and I figure, I’ll just take what I can take and maybe my stuff won’t have that traditional appeal, but the limit may make me more creative. So I got a couple of nice shots like this one. I was really hobbled by forgetting my 2 GB CF card, so I didn’t want to take a shot unless I was sure it would turn out great.
