Elk and Rocky Mountain Bighorns

I received a new (to me) lens Friday, a 300mm F4 AF lens. Looks like it was never used. Pretty good for $440 (this is the older non AF-S version though).

I took it up to the mountains for some wildlife photography, but the light wasn't there since it was cloudy/dark and snowy. Got a few decent photos though, but no real keepers.

Shot with the Nikon D600. I need to get a 1.4x teleconverter.

What a terrific set. The first one is a great catch - the way his lighter fur sets off the darker fur on his head is especially effective. And the snow in the last few...great atmosphere.

I especially like #3, #5, and #6. Congratulations on the new lens! Best, Pam

If that is the 300mm AF ED f4 with the sliding sun hood, it is a great lens, well built (heavy) and sharp
Very nice shots by the way
