I wish I carried my 70-200 this day. These were all taken with a 17-55. He just kept posing and was not at all concerned with my proximity. I just kept moving slowly. These were all taken up near Summit Lake on Mount Evans in Colorado, USA.
Great shots Paul, sometimes wildlife just surprises us with how tolerant of our presence they can be. I think you benefited by being forced to shoot the whole scenes.
Thanks everyone for the comments. I would like to tell you hiked all the way up Mount Evans, but truth be told, I drove up. This hike was perhaps a 1/2 mile back to this spot. It was fun shooting him. There was another photographer there with a Nikon setup also taking pictures. I was kind of curious to see if I would find his on this board as well.
Thanks again for the comments and encouragement - Paul
