These guys (there were two of them) were the toughest animals to photograph at Triple D. They are extremely quick and they never stop moving. It was next to impossible to focus on one of them and shoot before they had moved. We had to basically pick a point, focus on it, and then try…
I was within 10 feet of this leopard. It walked down by us at one point and crossed in front of us just a few feet away. It was very cool. These leopards are very rare in the U.S. If you wanted to go photograph one at the Triple D game farm by yourself, it…
These are from our second morning at the Triple D game farm. We had a second chance to photograph the mountain lion, this time on top of a nearby mountain. I ended up with much better photos from this session, including the fourth one above, which is my overall favorite. Next up: the snow leopard.
Not really the type of shots I was going for at the game farm, but kind of fun nonetheless. I love the second one.
The porcupine was the easiest animal to photograph at the game farm. They gave him some food and he just sat in one spot an ate. Occasionally, they would move his food to another spot on the log so we could get pictures in different locations. But, you basically had all the time in the…
The third animal we had the opportunity to photograph was a young Canada Lynx. It almost looks like your typical kitten until you look at those big paws. The kitten was pretty nervous with 18 photographers surrounding it in a semi-circle. It kept hiding in the log, which was partially hollow, or ducking beneath it…
The second animal we photographed at Triple D was a mountain lion. Unfortunately, the sun was getting high in the sky by this time and the light wasn’t very good at the location where we were shooting. It was starting to get warm too, so the lion wasn’t too interested in posing for the cameras. …
The first animal we photographed at the Triple D Game Farm was a grizzly bear. I can’t remember for sure, but I think her name was Rose. We started shooting pretty early in the morning before the sun had risen above the mountains to the East. This gave us good, soft, low contrast light. Tomorrow…
…if you want to see pictures from my visit to the Triple D game farm this summer. We headed up to Kalispell for two days during the class, Outdoor Photography: Becoming a Professional, at RMSP. David Middleton was our instructor and is a great teacher. If you get a chance to take a workshop with…
