The Chase....

Bull.  

My mother told me several times as a teenager that I had to chase the girls.  There not going to run to me.  With the incredible good looks that have been my blessing, I found this hard to believe.  And if you think I think I have incredible good looks I have a condo in Bagdad for cheap.   For years my photography has allowed me to witness the bull elk chase the cow elk.   What a thrill.  In the park there is a hill overlooking the Madison.  If fortune allows, it a is a great place to photograph elk.  The perspective is high and open.  The shot above was composed as the bull chased the cows towards the hill.  It was one of the had to be there lucky moments.   The shot was made with my 300 f/2.8 lens.  The aperture was down to 16 (thank goodness for the bright light).  Upon close inspection you can see the bull is just barley out of the depth of field.  Things were moving fast.  I liked the results.  Kinda tells the story of the day.
