Late one evening........... · 01:30 PM

........in Watertonton Lakes N.P. I came across a huge herd of elk. My estimate was about 500 animals, the mountain meadow was just full of them. There wasn't much light left and I should have bumped the iso up but than hindsight is always 20/20

Comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Very nice i like the last shot! Well done

Heinrich, I never realized they grouped into such a large herd, but I guess it is safety in numbers. That sure is beautiful country, I bet you camp there as much as possible. "God's Country" as they say. Thanks for the photos, I really enjoy them. Bob

Great pics of some sublime nature scenes! I like the first one the most.

imtheguy · 08-31-2011, 03:40 PM

I really like the mountain details brought out by the low angle light. Very impressive landscape regardless of the herd of big critters would make a great 24x36 print. Nice stuff Heinrich!

I love all of those! The last one is my favorite! Nice work!
Regards!

Hi Bob and thank you. Up until then I had never seen more than about 10 in a herd. It is very nice country and we just made reservations for next June.

Take care,

Hi Lee and thank you. I agree about the print but have no room to hang it.

Take care,

Well done Heinrich that is also the largest herd I have seen (including in Jasper).

tpg2 · 09-02-2011, 06:14 AM

Excellent landscape! Really nice shots, great job! Tom

UpNorth · 09-02-2011, 06:55 AM

The shots of the mountains alone are great Heinrich - and the elk are a definite bonus!
Nice work.....

In Northern Europe I usually only see there droppings and certainly not so much elk on one spot. Like the color layering in the mountain backdrop!

**Sailor** · 09-02-2011, 03:06 PM

Simply terrific, Heinrich. It's as if you called the elk in on cue!

Thank you Dave, I believe that a herd of that size is very unusual, we'll be in Jasper in a another week and see.

Take care,

Thank you Remco, I was lucky, 10 minutes later there wasn't enough light to take any sort of decent picture.

Take care,
