one more from the weekend
I like this shot but I dont feel it does this waterfall justice. This is only the bottom third.
A lot of great elk on this page, but you gotta love the one with the felt hanging all over the antlers. To bad he got all dressed up with ear rings and necklace for the shoot.

my thoughts exactly.Originally Posted by conropl
They really tagged the heck out of that elk. Are they doing research on those elk or something? I'm confused why they would need such big tags if they weren't monitoring them frequently. Was that with the 100-400?

I'm sure it'll just be to keep an eye on population numbers.
Need to be legible from a distance so they don't have to catch them once tagged.
Pure speculation of course
From a technical standpoint, there's nothing special about this image. But it's not about the form - it's about the content. And the contents of this location are truly amazing...
I flew down this early morning from Boston for a work meeting in New Jersey, and took a short detour up to Penn Station in Manhattan, then a short walk to Wonderland.

This elk is part of the reintroduced population in Smoky mountains national park. Its a small herd they introduced and they have a few biologists that are pretty much constantly monitoring the elks activities. 90% of the elk here are tagged like that. Its great for study purposes but not so great for photography.
and yeah, 100-400 on a 50d.

I was trying to figure out if there is some hidden meaning with the Nuts 4 Nuts cart in this picture.
Well, at least he got the White Walk Signal on the lamp-sign, as opposed to the stop "Red Hand Signal."
Uh--ohh, it also looks like a One-->Way Street to trouble!
