The Animals

[RareTA]

In most National parks the wildlife is pretty used to humans. Although you need to still be aware that they are still wild. Those I shot from the car. The bison walked right past my window so close I could of reached out and touched it. The wife was getting nervous.

I am glad it is not the wolf you tried to reach out touch some one as AT&T slogan went.

Oh No I know better than try that. Actually he was some distance away just laying down and he picked up his head and I got him with the 400MM + a 2x teleaconverter lens I had at the time. The photo is cropped up to get him close. I shoot in raw and process in LR and PS CS6.

Elephants at Amboseli National Park, Kenya in 1991. I hope the elephant on the left isn't about to do what it looks like he is going to do to the elephant on the right. This is a family forum.

Domestic Bisons.

A stately looking beast, Valery, and a very nice picture capturing its gaze.

Here is a picture of a Common Seal (the least common of our two seals around uk shores!).


2014 Skye Easter - Common Seal 2 by Birm, on Flickr

I liked this picture, despite the harsh midday sun, as I thought is showed off their camouflage when lying on the seaweed strewn rocks. This particular seal watched us very calmly as the boat chugged by it.

Nex 6 with SEL 55-210.

Good shot of the Seal.

ps I studied the Elephants H but I think all was above board.

Thanks Valery and Greg

Wild animal that domesticated humans? Smart one. This squirrel on Morro rock bravely approaches me, you can
see my shoe and then lifts itself on its hind legs asking/looking for food. I wonder how long it took for it to figure
out that doing a simple trick will put food in its mouth.

Hehe - a smart critter, Sury

Adopting to surroundings. Amazing. I was blown away.
