Spring in the Meadow

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted May 22, 2015133 views9 comments

My wife and I spent a few days last weekend near Mt. Adams at a place called Elk Meadows RV park. The meadow behind the campground lived up to its name. I liked the foggy scene with the elk as accents.

5Diii, 300mm f4 ISL + 1.4TC, Tripod w ball head, f/7.1, 1/125, iso 1600, aperture priority, pattern metering with no compensation. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to 15.75MP. Some cloning to remove the edge of a bush from theleft side and an obtrusive weed from the foreground. Taken May 17th at 5:34 am.

Your comments are very much appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Nice capture Dennis; I like the fog too and it adds a lot of dimensionality to the scene. Nice placement of the elks in the overall compostion.

This is a fine look at these elk in a nicely foggy environment, Dennis. Elk always amaze me with how quickly their antlers grow and the two bulls looking at you show that off well. The larger image does a much better job of showing off the details in this scene.

Very nice. I like the mood and included landscape. I also like how the elk look attentative; it's kind of mysterious.
