<p>This was taken at the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota. I had the good fortune of talking to this young lady... Hoop dancing has been a Lakota tradition for a very long time. They used to use willow hoops way back when.<br> 5D Mark III – EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS</p><div></div>

<p>Laura,<br> Thanks, saw bears at both locations (and others). This particular sequence played out in Hayden Valley.</p>

<p>Well last week I posted a photo of a wolf at at kill in Yellowstone NP and I promised to show the infamous bear known as "Scarface" that took over the kill. Not much green but a promise is a promise! Again this photo was taken at an extreme distance with a 500mm lens + 1.4x converter and severely cropped. All about the content in this case. Sadly a short time after I took this photo an experienced hiker who was employed at the park was attacked, killed and eaten by a female grizzly and her cubs. The Mother was captured and destroyed and the cubs sent to a zoo.</p><div></div>

<p>All things Beautiful. Custer State Park, South Dakota<br> 5D Mark III – EF 28-70 f/2.8L</p><div></div>

<p>Laura,<br> It is my guess that the kill is either an elk or buffalo calf. Something much larger than a goose for sure.</p>

<p>This photo is more about the content than the technicalities. It was taken at an extreme distance with a 500mm + 1.4 tc then severely cropped. The wolf eats at it's kill as the Raven and Bald Eagle await their turn. Later on a grizzly took over the kill. A rather famous one at that... the Yellowstone Grizzly known as Scar Face. I will post him next week!</p><div></div>

<p>Hmmmm, I purchased a 7D shortly after they were introduced and never had any AF issues nor have I heard of anything notorious about it. I have since upgraded to a 7DII and 5DIII combo as AF systems continue to evolve. Still have and use the original 7D.</p>
