Went for a walk
12/11/06 12:24 PM

The new job's kept me away from anything but the labratory and my bed. What little waking time I've had away from home lately's been spent with my little 16-month old daughter (who is just amazing by the way!)

I needed time alone away from work and from home.
Got in the truck a couple of mornings ago and went for a drive north, got out to stretch my legs before the sun came up and heard the clicks, whistles, and bugling of Elk.
There were fifteen or so elk in a clearing, these critters were 275 yards away and looked up at the sound of my camera's shutter.

There was very little available light, the image of the elk was taken at ISO 800 with a 200mm prime set at f2, 1/6 second handheld with my elbows resting on my knees.

The shed on the water was taken an hour or so later in the morning.

I was interested in taking a pig, and had my .458 with me. The only pigs I saw were huge, 300+lb pigs and I decided to leave them there as I wanted a small one for meat and the monsters looked like more work than I wanted to deal with on my own.

The time out was well spent, no meat in the truckbed on the way home, but that wasn't really what I was after.
I'll be back, and plan to get into the drawing for a special hunt elk tag...
