Elk: Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, September 2024 — We got to Mammoth Hot Springs early on our second full day in the park, specifically to photograph the Elk as the sun crested the mountains. Still early enough here so the sun was not even on the ridges above the springs, and this buck and doe are silhouetted against the semi dark sky. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
