Big Game

by JudithAnn

I had such a great moment shooting this huge Elk......I was using my 70-300mm lens, and I swear he looked right into my lens...here is the look!

How lucky were you, shame you didn't get the full antlers, I'd still hang it on the wall though

A Monty Python sketch comes to mind! Gorgeous shot!

Fabulous. Do you happen to remember roughly how far from the elk you were? I am trying to decide which long lens to buy.

I was using my 300 sigma.... this elk was crossing the road, so I pulled over, got out...but being careful because they can charge...so I kept a safe distance, of at least 50 yards and my car very close by! LOL . I find my 300 more then enough with wildlife. You can hand hold a 300mmm and get a sharp photo.... bigger you need to be rethink it being hand held and use a tripod for the sharpness.

I hope this helps you.
