As promised, here it is. This is the full width of the slide.

Below are 100% crops from the 2800 dpi scan so you can see the animals better.

Sigma 50-500 (at or very near 500), Provia 100, pushed one stop. I know it's no technical wonder, but I think it tells a story...

Read more about it in my "Weekend in Jasper" thread in the discussion forum.

Neat nature story and a lot of critters in that slide. Looks like that lens has a bit of a vignetting problem. The left and right sides appear darker than the center.

Yeah, I've known about the vignetting problem for almost as long as I've had a 50-500. And I actually corrected it somewhat in PhotoShop! To me it's the biggest flaw in an otherwise great lens. But I think this is the third image that I've taken that it's really noticeable in--so it's not a major problem to me. The previous ones had flat, light coloured backgrounds--I'm not sure why the vignetting is so obvious here.

The pano shot really shows the vastness of the landscape and there is a lot going on here Paul. How great to actually be able to see Wolves in the wild!!

That would've been quite an experience to see in person. No wonder you were bragging about Canada for wildlife!
