Caught in the headlights


DB_Gallery

This was a cover image for a story on how well a critical Elk habitat was doing under increasing pressures from estates with huge price tags. Mandalay Ranch on the left of the photo sold for around $43,000,000 to a california couple. They have no plans to devlelop the open ranch land at the foothills of the forest. Nikon D100, asa 800 with a 400 2.8 at 1/100 of a second on a monopod. This version looks a bit saturated. I thout it would flatten so I uped it..:-0

Hi Daniel, a great image of man and its divided interests and the irony of calling it Elk habitat. The snow covered trees and the oncoming car accents the conflict. Too bad the little guy is hidden behind the big male - the head poking through would have greatly enhanced the caution they already exercise in dodging cars.

I just perused your portfolio and wow, this and all of your photos are truly amazing and an inspiration to a beginner photographer. I wish I could take photos half as good as yours! My only thought on this one would be to crop a little off the bottom? But like I said, I am a beginner....

...been a while... How do you like the D100? I'm starting to itchy feet about the new D70... Get a chance, browse thru my stuff. Good to see your work again.
