Your best animal shots!
- Thread starter Frodosbigtoe

What a flurry of lovely shots. Kickstarts my aging aching body in the morning and makes we want to get outdoors and hike!! 
Thanks everyone for posting.
Edward, my hope is to get back to Peru and surrounding countries. Since my wife was born there, my lack of Spanish is not too critical. Had a flight into the jungle but it was rocking and rollin and got turned back, so that was one big dissappointment. You'd be shooting more than Jaguars, for sure. I found the native folk in particular to be very friendly. Finally, what I appreciate even more than your photos is your attitude.

Hi Jack, Sounds like we share a few things in common, age, a love for Photography & a reasonable attitude, I think the attitude comes with the first thing I mentioned.
I enjoy checking the latest on the 6D gallery as well, there's some amazing Images being posted there from yourself, Dustin, Chuck, Serendipidy, Captain Kanji etc etc, this Gallery convinced me to change out my youngest Lads D5100 with the 6D, lot's of story on the Cameras Pros & Cons, but the 6D Gallery shows just what can be achieved with this Camera.
An English friend of mine just returned from the Pantanal in Brazil, his Images certainly gave me a push to get down there as soon as i can.
And i don't speak Spanish also, Hell, I'm an Aussie, we battle with English.

Lovely Image Eldar, we tried to shoot some of these on the Svalbard trip, they were a lot darker than this Guy so I guess it was a different variant. You seem to have a few of these endangered animals where you are located, such a wonderful experience when your able to Photograph something like this, or the Lynx.
We ran into a few people from Norway up in Svalbard (as it's part of Norway not unexpected), I was surprised that the Norwegians are such very keen hunters, it wasn't something I had ever considered when thinking about Norway, but it is surely one of the most Beautiful places I've seen, I hope to see more of the Country at some point.

Edward, it's nice to think that I may have contributed something worthwhile since April. Back then I was unsettled and uneasy about such a high $$ purchase (for me for sure!!) and I must have been a real pain in the butt here on CR.
About that time I received this and it made me stop and think. I surely didn't want to be NEGATIVE.
Jack
You have put up a lot of negative comments about your 300 f2.8 and being unhappy about your purchase of it and the camera.
You may be suffering from expecting that your kit will make up for your inexperience, of course it is quite possible that you have been unlucky and got a poor copy of one of the best lenses made and/or a mismatch with your camera.
Spending lots of money on kit will NOT ensure you take good pictures, trust me I have proved it.

I like to think that from that time forward I smartened up. I feel a little ashamed for some of the stuff I was posting but cest la vie. Ultimately I also realized I needed to stop posting all my bird shots to that 6D thread.
I won't be looking back on this new hobby until I'm dead and gone and that's thanks to a lot of good folk here on CR.
Here's one udder shot I like even though technically it leaves a little to be desired. Blessed I am to have such things happen in my back yard.

Very good! It seems more than 1:1 to me - did you use tubes or it is just crop?
