Rocky Mountain National Park Wildlife Photography:
Bighorn Sheep and Elk

I’m finally getting around to posting pictures from May’s trip to Rocky Mountain National Park.  Here’s the first of what will be quite a few shots from RMNP.

Today was a great day on the river.  I didn’t have time to edit them yet, but here’s one.  This was the first picture out of the camera, and pretty much sums up the amazingness of today.

This is the first time in 15 or so attempts to photograph bald eagles that I’ve actually seen them feeding.  Usually they just hang out in trees and occasionally fly around.  Sadly, by the time I had all my camera settings right, it was after sunset, so here’s an eagle with a fish at ISO 2200.

That is an incredible low light shot. Speaks pretty highly for that lens/body combination!
