RE: Jasper National Park: Wildlife bonanza, Day 1&2 30+ photos

Nice photography, particularly the wildlife shots. That elk is great! I've never seen elk, outside of an enclosure. I've seen moose closer than I was comfortable with, though!

The grouse, though... It's not as ugly as a turkey, but it's close! You must have gotten pretty close to those marmots to be able to get those. 300mm is a pretty decent tele, but they still look close. Nice work!

Sort:  

Gotta watch out with moose! they are ok until somethings spooks them , they run all over the place and become dangerous. The Elk can be dangerous too but in the park they are a bit friendlier. I think they are great, I see them all the time.

Haha I think the Grouse are cute! The Marmots were close enough they came like 6 feet away, they were not skiddish at all! 300 mm is nice and I can make it work but I don't think it's enough, I'm looking into a 500mm maybe next year but they are expensive. Thanks for stopping by ! :)
