Those crazy Eastern Europeans

 

Cropped six-ways to Sunday. With the 400 it would have been a cleaner shot.

 

So with the sensor crop factor is that 100-400 actually a 150-600mm?

 

I reckon it is.

The image was shot with a 55-200. I used Topaz to bring it to life. I reckon the Grizz was 50 yards away.

 

Great shot! Wall hanger for sure!!

 

50 yards is nothing.
Yellowstone is on the list of places to go. We may try and make it happen after the kids go back to school.

 

Thank you. We’ve moved around so much that I’ve yet to print anything I’ve shot.
Haven’t seen this photo since the day I shot it did think about sending it into the Estes Park newspaper but never did anything about it.

 

Judging by your IG you’re getting incredibly sharp shots with that lens. Was it a Tamron or Sigma?

 

The IG images are mostly from the Nikon D7200 and the Sigma 100-400.
A few are from the Tokina 11-16.

I rented both the Tampon (Tamron) and the Sigma and kept the Sigma.

 

Wife and I loaded up the little camper, did a 16-day multi-state excursion in 2019 end of June into July.
Night temps in YellowStone hit 39 degrees on July 3.... it's chilly at night.!

There is NO cell service, the place is WILD. Do NOT get caught with your azz hanging in the wind in YellowStone
it is no joke. Massive land area full of beasts.

Don't forget to spend a good Day and a half in the Tetons - it's quite powerful.


The morning prior to heading out...


Camp site in YellowStone:

 

Good to know how prepared we need to be.
September should be even chillier at night then, brrr.
We bought this TT when we left HI in Nov’21 and intended to just cruise to Sedona AZ and relocate but ended up not liking the area and then proceeded to roam lost for an unintended total of 2 years and 15k miles. We did go back to Goodyear AZ in May of ‘23 to try AZ again and spent 4 months in a house during the stupidly hot summer, that really did make us decide AZ was not for us

 

What's not to like, except the tourists... and the cost of housing there.

And yea, I live in Phoenix, it's hotter than hot here in the summer and 2023 as I recall was brutal.

We suffer mid-June through Mid-September but man oh man the other 8-9 months are bliss.
No ice, no snow, no freezing cold, not tornado's, no hurricanes, no quakes, very little rain, no bugs, ...
