An Evening with the Elk

Colorado CJ

Here are a few photos from this evening. These were shot with my new Tair 3 300mm F4.5 Preset lens set to F5.6. After shooting all day with this lens, all I can say is that this lens is incredible. Great sharpness, color and bokeh. The rifle stock setup really works well too. Slung it on my shoulder like a rifle while hiking, and it makes for very steady photography with that 4 pound lens.

Great shots and the light is "to die for" as they say!

Thanks.

The sun was setting behind the mountain, so it made for a great light with a dark backdrop. Most of these were taken in the last 10 minutes of the 2 hours spent with the herd.

I really liked the lighting on the 1st image. Nice work all the way around.
