Hey everyone, I just got back from my 6th trip to the Yellowstone area (Yellowstone,Grand teton,ect). We rented a 400mm 2.8 for the week and it was amazing. I havent gone through them all, but heres a shot that stands out so far. We were on our way to a local badger den in Lamar Valley when i spotted a wolf out in a feild near the road! I quickly got out and put on the 2x tele converter, attached the camera to the tripod, and plugged in a cable release. Suddenly it started heading towards the road and soon crossed it to get to the rest of the pack on the other side of the valley. What a day! I'll start posting some of my favorites as I go through them.

Looks and sounds like you had a great trip. It is a wonderful area to spend time. Glad you caught this one.

Cool shot and looks like wolfy got wet a little bit. The right tone curve can make this really pop.

Great photo.

Who did you rent the lense through? I've been looking at lensprotogo.com

A wolf in the wild--great catch!

Great find! I'd love to have some wolf shots in my wildlife files. This animal looks either stressed or not in good health. Was he/she wet? I'm looking forward to seeing more if you have had the time to process. I agree with adding a little color here to make it pop a bit more.
