Canon EOS 7D III, EF 70-200mm f/2.8, 1/1000 sec at f/6.3, ISO 125. Filming in Jackson Hole, Wyoming I found several bulls working down to the National Elk Refuge. It was -15 below and clear, the sun was on its way to setting. The glow of the low rays of the winter sun spotlight the bulls. I waited until the elk were right under the Grand Teton to take the image.
