The Moment Before the Click | Yellowstone Elk After a long day enjoying Yellowstone NP in late September, we were driving toward the west end of the park to call it a day. As happens often in Yellowstone, the next bend in the road provided another beautiful scene. The Elk were bugling in this small herd across the field. After a short walk through the trees, the scene opened up. At first, it was not clear to me what my subject would be. Normally, it would be the Elk. This time the new tree growth through the burned forest seemed more overpowering to me. So, I decided to make it a landscape with wildlife included. After wondering a bit to get the right angle and focusing with a long lens to condense the background, the scene in front of my lens came into focus. The late afternoon light was perfect. The scene was classic wild Yellowstone. The perfect end to a great day. Click! For the whole story with all images, see The Moment Before the Click | a 7 Image Story.
