Bighorn Sheep

Here is another bighorn from this morning. The lighting was a little challenging!

Canon 1D Mark2
500mm lens

Nice as usual. Have you ever tried a flash with extender for that lighting situation?

Baaaaa!

Excellent work to bring the eye directly to the front ram(ewe) with the focus and exposure control.

Please don't take this as a negative comment because I think you really have a nice image here. But for my own knowledge and from past experience I would like to know how you would have gotten both heads in sharp focus. Would you focus past the first head and not quite to the second? Simply stop down further? Some other technique? Or is it not really an option?

I do like how the background blurs out, but I struggle with DOF when using a long lens. It seems the lens markers on the focus ring are not very reliable with a long lens.

Thanks,
Michael

Nice! I like the light highlights, and the cool blue background.

Another really nice shot.

Beautiful Portrait.

Dan,
Great shot, where did you get these guys?

Thanks for the comments. Brenden, I photographed these bighorn near the Georgetown exit.

Another sweet Bighorn shot Dan!
