After leaving Tower Falls, we headed for the south exit of Yellowstone National Park. Along the windy road, we passed several herds of Bison. As we crested a hill on the highway, I saw some vehicles stopped up ahead and sure enough, there were some Bison on and near the road. "Bison crossing" would be a worthy road sign here. This image was taken with my 75-300mm lens at 300mm focal length and an exposure of 1/800 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 400.
A Bison calf moves slowly across the ridge not too far from the roadway. The cars tend to slow to a crawl when there are so many animals so close to the road, so the opportunity to shoot from the car as we drove past was too hard to pass up. This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/1000 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 400.
More Buffalo than you can count. A bull stands at the top of a hill not too far from the calf above as we drove past. This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/500 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 400.
Another bull wanders the grassland of Yellowstone. This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/800 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 400.
This bull seems to be watching the traffic go by (it was bumper to bumper for quite some distance). I took this out the drivers side window as my sweetie drove slowly down the road. This image was taken at 205mm focal length with an exposure of 1/640 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 400.
This herd of Buffalo were milling around on a hillside by the road that has a hydrothermal vent near its top which you can see in the middle of the frame with a beast in front of it. This image was taken at 75mm focal length with an exposure of 1/250 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 400.
