Post by: armand on August 03, 2017, 09:35:21 pm

Few fun shots, I had only a ~ 85 mm equiv (the long lens was in the backpack) but they were quite close

Well seen. I like those chamois on the ridgeline;the light is just right.

Thanks. They started quite close and sequentially got further away, I just sat and shot multiple versions as they were reaching the ridge and getting into the light.

This is how close they were at some point

Sometimes, chamois can be quite undisturbed by human activities. Last year, I was shooting in the Alps, waiting for the sunrise. On my back, a group of 20 young adults got very close and I only noticed them when they were 25-30 ft away. They stayed there for 10 minutes and then left when the sun got up.
