Here's my contribution to the recent orgy of antelope posts.
500mm + 1.4x TC + crop
Last month was the first time that I have seen pronghorns in GSDNP.
Actually, it's the first time I got anything more than a fleeting butt shot.
These guys also made me beter appreciate the benefits of carrying a second body with a shorter focal length to get an environmental portrait. A composition with the dunes in the background would have been great, but they didn't wait around for me to change lenses. OK, I'm just trying to rationalize why I need a new 5D2 when I have a perfectly good 1Ds2.

Very nice, Bill. It seems I've started something... Maybe we need to make it one of the monthly themes. Or not...
