BIG GAME Using a 5x telephoto lens for the photo to the right, this big fellow seemed unconcerned about my presence. After taking a few pictures, I moved on down the trail in the other direction. Then I noticed he was slowly following me. |
I turned around and took this picture, decided to get out of his way, then noticed I had the river below me and a cliff to the other side. With one foot in the water, doing my best to become part of a trail-side tree, I watched as the moose passed within touching distance, his eyes glued on me all the time. A wildlife photographer always carries an extra pair of underwear along. |
The hair on the back of his neck said I was close enough. |
Definitely the telephoto used here! |
