I went snowshoeing Christmas Eve wanting to try out my new Tak 200mm F3.5 on some wildlife. I looked most of the day, and seen a few elk, but was pretty much skunked on finding any real wildlife, which is somewhat rare for me. I did find a mulie, but I spooked him when I dug in my bag to switch lenses. Oh well, it was great being out in nature anyway!
I took a few shots along the way, both with my Tak 200mm F3.5 and my new Super Tak 35mm F3.5.
Here they are in no particular order.
Mountain vista shot with the Tak 200
Small herd of cow elk, also shot with the Tak 200. They were pretty fidgety, so I wasn't able to get too close to them. I spent about 40 minutes trying to get close, but there was a road nearby and whenever a car passed they all got a little spooked.
This is a shot of my footprints in the snow, I was tracking some mulie buck's prints, but I spooked him and he bounded away, out from under some trees. This was at around 10,500 ft.
Shot with the Super Tak 35mm
This is just a shot of a cliff face. I liked the light on the rock, really made the orange color stand out. Shot with the Super Tak 35.
Not a great day of picture taking, but I guess there will always be those days. I did shoeshoe about 6 miles and was out in the fresh air and sunshine though. You can never have too much of that!
