Post #100—raise the roof. Another shot taken from a high vantage point. I see I’m going to need to invest in a good, fast VR lens to get off the tripod and quickly shoot different perspectives. Time to start saving the pennies.

Makes me think about an article I just read, how marmots are getting fatter as summer get longer...this guy clearly isn't going hungry! Nice detail in the fur and grass. Any chance of recovering some of the highlighted section in the rock in front of him?

Ron, I think this is my favorite one of your marmot shots. Thanks for sharing.

I think this is my favorite too Ron! I like that over-the-shoulder-look and the standing pose.
Btw, you will find that wildlife photography is the most money-hungry type of nature photography you can get involved in with a need for high iso cameras, long focal lengths, fast lenses with VR/IS; just watch out you do net get sucked into buying all this expensive gear before you know whether wildlife is your thing. Plus all that good equipment does help in getting the images, but it is still the photographer's skill and vision that are more important!

Good one. One thing I feel is that he might be leaning a bit too much backward. It might be an optical illusion, but a bit of clockwise rotation would cure it.
