Sometimes it all comes together.......

Thank-you.........
Now do you want to know how many I chucked?

If could only do these again knowing what I now know now-say that 3 times fast..........









46 ..........

Well, I wasn't too far off on my guess. I like the last moose photo. It looks as if you said cheese and he smiled for the camera.

You are indeed fortuitous...the flowers can wait.
Very nice series. Moose are generally pretty cooperative at standing still aren't they? Well done.

Cheers,

I was with them for two hours. When they sat down in the shade, I ate my lunch 10-15 yards away and resumed shooting. They were literally snoring. At times I got so close I had to back away real slow or real fast with tripod my only possible protection- but they never seemed to mind me at all.............lesson learned= high dynamic range in the sun, they are very dark , and create there own shade.....thank's for comments

Great shots. Very beautiful place around that area. I live in South Carolina but I need to go to Dugway Proving Grounds for some testing. If you live around that area I'm sure you know where I'm talking about. Anyway, I was there last month and got a chance to take a ride through the Mt. Nebo Loop over in Pason. Got some really nice photos from around there. I'll try to post some later.

Great job, and I'll bet you had an awesome time!

I have found that moose, and lower 48 grizzly bears are, for me, the hardest subjects to capture well in the wild.

The moose are so dark and so sneekey, that when you run onto one you really better know how your camera works or you will come home with a bunch crud. I think shooting moose and lower 48 griz MADE me figure out how and when to adjust my exposure without looking at the camera!

Great job on the moose, i wish I were there!

LOL - I understand that one all too well. The last time I saw some nice bull elk, they literally lazed about for 3 and ahalf hours. When they finally got up, I got some treated to some nice posing.

Congratulations on the shots. He is one heck of a big boy.
