American Bison - Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
EOS 1D Mark II, 70-200 @ 70mm, 1/800, f/5.6, ISO 320 I almost got stuck in Yellowstone National Park when a freak summer blizzard that closed all of the park's passes struck yesterday morning. To get home, I first drove 50 miles into the park from West Yellowstone and was then turned around by the road closure (would be nice to have had a sign posted somewhere along the route) forcing me to take an alternate route through Idaho to Jackson for my flight home - total miles 230 instead of 110. Temperature change from take-off to landing - 78 degrees. Here is one of many photos I took in the blizzard. I was actually photographing snow covered pines at the time crouched under a tree for some protection from the elements when this Bison came huffing and puffing through the clearing. He didn't see me at first but then suddenly did and stopped, looked me over a couple of times, snorted and moved on. It was a bit scary at first but all went well. Here is one of the shots I took during the encounter. E.J. Peiker http://www.EJPhoto.com
