Working closer.
« on: March 09, 2009, 09:08:11 PM »
Time to start some new photography threads.  Here's a shot of CameraGuy working his mojo to get close enough to photograph some bulls with his 70-200.  When its foggy, like it was that morning, getting close is the key to clear shots.

I've got a few but most are on film or slide.

I'm thinking he was about 30-40 yards.  Using that short lens he gets up close and personal with the critters.  Sometimes he scares them off and lots of times he gets some great shots.

At least you got Shawn's good side. :chuckle:

 Here's a shot of Ricochet
I'm thinking he was about 30-40 ft.

Here is Tony Bynum taking world class sheep photos on a cliff.  I didn't have the kahunas to go up there so I took long range photos of the action.   ;)

I was just glad he wasn't doing something stupid like BA'ing me or peeing.  Maybe it will be his birthday present from me.  I'll make a poster of it.
