Wolves  After a trip to Yellowstone, people always ask me if I was able to capture any wolf images.  The answer has always been the same, no, until now.  Yes, I finally was able to capture a few images with wolves.  Now, these images are, well, pretty weak.  That said, it’s still the first time I have ever gotten close enough to even see the wolf in the image.  So, maybe there’s hope to get a better image next time.  One of the reasons I really like the Nikon 1 V1 is the 2.7 crop factor.  Without it, I would not have even been able to capture this image.  The effective focal length was 810mm.  The wolves had to be 200 to 300 yards away.
