Downtown Ram

Gallery: WildlifePosted September 27, 2017232 views3 comments

This ram and his younger buddy were taking a stroll through the streets of Waterton in mid-August as my wife and I drove out of our motel parking lot. He was a bit testy and shook his head at me to get me to move out of his pathway and let them pass. I obliged them, and took this shot from the car window as he was strolling by. Canon 5Diii, f8, 1/2500 sec, -1.3 EV, 100-400 ISL with 1.4 X TC at 140 mm. Slight crop for straightening. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

Ed, the larger version has great detail, and I feel as if I could touch the ram. Really nice.

Techs look spot on great. Well taken. This is a fine example of how wildlife can sometimes interact within human activity with nonchalence!

That is one very large ram. Very unusual to see a Bighorn Ram with a building in the background. Guess you were in the right place at the right time. Well done.
