Wild Goat

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted December 11, 201096 views4 comments

1D Mk iv, 600mm f4, 1/200s, iso 800. Cropped to vertical and cloned out snow highlight.

Just back from fantastic couple of days with Neil McIntyre. I had never seen one of these magnificent beasts before. They apparently were escapees 2-300 years ago and continue to be prolific in some areas.

Full of character. Very nice portrait. Did you take any showing the full horns?

What a face! Love the muted tones throughout the shot.

Where did you find these wild goats exactly?

Thanks all!

Robert

Yes, but I prefer the tighter shots showing the incredible faces

Shhhhh... somewhere North of Edinburgh - but don't tell anyone

Great portrait, Ian. I really like the detail in the coat and the demonic eyes. Incidently, you also get them south of Edinburgh as well
