Moose 1

The SUN for this shot was AWFUL ... high in the sky and totally too

bright to be taking pictures ... but I tried to adjust in PS anyway.

She was just too close to the road for me to drive on by without

snapping a few pics. :-) Any comments or ratings are appreciated!

She's posing very nicely for you. You've got a pretty good detail on the animal despite the tricky conditions. I like the high contrast in the water.

Why the long face? : )

Great !!!

Where is Regina Chayer? Didn't she say that she was into moose-roping back up in Maine?

 

Nice shot, Lou Ann.

man, i wish i had a dime for every foot of film i've wasted trying to photograph moose well. this is a very nice shot -- the reason the water is washed out is of course because moose are so dark in color-- in this case however, the bright spots neatly frame the charming subject.

Hey Lannie.... we only rope the males, the rack of antlers makes it tougher, more challenging ... we leave the females alone.

Ever neutered a moose Lannie ... ?

No, Ken, I haven't, but, when I saw Regina's comment, I said to myself, "This would be Ken's area of expertise."

 

I'm not sure that I've ever seen a moose, come to think of it.

Lou Ann, This is, indeed, a nice shot. I'm no expert but my bet is that this shot was taken toward the end of your series & the moose is telling you you've been too close for too long (note the ears layed back). Very good detail in the shadows & highlights, a testimony to the quality of this film. Best, LM.
