Another Bull Elk

Bull Elk. Canon R5, 500mm + 1.4TC, tripod, 1/800 @f5.6, ISO 3200

This is another image of the same bull elk I shared earlier in the week. This image was actually taken before the one when elk was in front of the giant steam plume. A different area of thermal features is behind the elk here as it began to move a little faster. I don’t usually shoot at an ISO of 3200 but the situation warranted it here and the camera handled the higher ISO well. If I had chosen to stay at a lower ISO, then I probably wouldn’t have been able to get this shot due to the low light. The sun hadn’t reached the lower part of the frame though a beautiful pink light can be seen along the top. The elk didn’t’ wait around for the light to reach the entire area unfortunately.
