Fantastic shots of the bison and what a magnificent location too! How close could you get to them and what focal length were you using?

**Bob Harris** · 07-08-2014, 09:11 AM

such great clarity Heinrich, I can hear them snorting as they feed and my wife yelling at me to get back in the car..

Thank you, how close and what lens varies greatly from time to time. I usually went there at least twice a day and used 18-135, 55-300 and Bigma.

Thank you Bob. Been there and done that, now my wife stays home.

Unfortunately not for that reason, she is waiting for hip replacement surgery.

Splendid shots!

I just love No. 1 and 7 of that set.
I should maybe tell that to my daughter who presently lives in Calgary; she is going all over the place in Alberta and becoming a very good nature photographer ... all with her little K-r and a DA 55-300 !

Thank you JP, most of these images were taken with the 55-300, some with Bigma.

Thank you Dave and yes you should. The Cameron Lake road was just opened again before I got there, they did a tremendous job rebuilding the sections after last years flood.

Wow, these look like big fellows! Super job, Heinrich.
