Get your Goat

A series with the K-r and 50-200 combo. These are the grown ups. Whenever ready, I will post part 2 of this series featuring the "kids".

Excellent series

What a great set - very characterful creatures and well taken - cool viewpoints too. Top stuff

Cheers

Great set and very well captured, I love the captions, and as Mat said cool viewpoints.

Very good. Looking forward to seeing the kids

Thanks for the kind comments. Part 2 will be fun indeed.

Great shots

What kind of goatamebobs are they :

As above. An impressive series of images.

Best regards

These are mountain goats. They are extraordinary creatures that thrive in environments where most cannot. There are sporadic herds throughout the Colorado section of the Rocky Mountains (they are more prevalent in northwest USA, western Canada, and southern Alaska), and to be fair they are somewhat used to seeing people. They are still wild, however, and as such patience is still a must for getting the best shots.

Beyond the initial foray into their habitat, I try not to approach them and allow their natural movements/activities provide as candid a photo as possible.

Thanks for the info

Impressive set
