You captured the moment perfectly

Amazing! Looks like he or she was recently eating.
Very cool. When I was in Yellowstone a few years ago, we saw several packs, but most of the wolves were either black or predominantly gray. Didn't see any that tended toward white... this guy is gorgeous.

It's great to be back on dA and see your photos again! This one is wonderful, with crisp, clear focus and lots of detail.

How far are you from them? They don't come after you or something?
π: 0 β©: 1
these are shot with long telephoto lenses so i'm not as close as it would seem. As long as you give wolves the distance and respect they deserve they really offer no threat towards people. It's the other way around really.

Oh ok I understand now. Is it the same with bears too?
π: 0 β©: 1
well bears are more dangerous than wolves so you definitely need to keep your distance from them. but with any wildlife you should keep your distance just to give them the respect they deserve.. dangerous or not
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes of course I agree. I heard that sometimes that bears follow you too.

i really hope i get to see a wolf in the wild someday, and be able to get a photograph of one as good as this. very outstanding, it seems like you have this unique connection with wildlife photography.

head out to yellowstone!youll definitely be able to see them if you try hard enough. getting close enough for photos is a whole other story. either way its worth trying

im trying to plan a trip out there either in the late summer or in the fall...i did some research and i hear the lamar valley is the best spot to view wolves in the park, unless you know of a better spot? ha
π: 0 β©: 1
if you have a choice i would definitely do the fall. youll have the park to yourself and the wildlife is very active that time of year. as far as where to see wolves (now keep in mind im not an expert on the subject)... In my experience the Lamar is a great spot to VIEW wolves but its usually at a great distance. I've had better luck in other parts of the park. With wolves though theres no real rhyme or reason to when or where youre going to see them. unless you know of where a kill is or something like that. They can cover a huge distance in a single day and can pop out in front of you at any time.

yeah, fall is my main focus but only if time allows. i know theres going to be tons of people during the summer. and it doesnt really matter how close i am to one, i have a telephoto lens and some of my favorite shots are of wolves with a lot of their natural habitat around them. id rather give them their space anyways, wouldnt want to provoke them for any reason
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah for sure those are my favorite kind of photos too. but when i say great distances im talking about something youd need a spotting scope to see. thousand yards out or more. but trust me just seeing them is worth it
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, theres just some things i need to experience in wildlife to appreciate it more. i mean, i guess i could try to get closer to them, but, i might be taking a very big chance with that haha...i need to get a new telephoto and extender anyways
π: 0 β©: 1
well as with most wildlife is a good idea to let them decide how close they want to get to you. im going to try to get out there this fall also
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, idk, it will be my first trip to the park so im sure ill have a lot to learn after that experience
π: 0 β©: 2
Let me know when you head up, if i can arrange my schedule I would love to meet up with you for a bit in the park

im hopefully going to try for october if everything goes the way i expect it to go...i still have massive planning to do
π: 0 β©: 0
it definitely wont dissapoint you thats for sure. i'm blown away every time i go back
π: 0 β©: 1
oh im sure ill have a blast, yellowstone seems like my home away from home and i havent even been there yet haha
π: 0 β©: 1
definitely go. its worth any money you spend to make it happen
π: 0 β©: 1
oh i definitely will, its the number one place on my places to see before i die
π: 0 β©: 1
even if you dont see a wolf or a bear or something like that youll definitely see all sorts of things you cant see anywhere else. its an amazing place
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, just the area alone seems like you could spend forever there and never be bored, though, seeing a wolf and a grizzly would be an awesome experience for a first trip ha
π: 0 β©: 1
as long as you go there and dedicate your time to seeing stuff ittl happen. you just need to be up really early and out really late. most of the people who go to yellowstone and come back complaining about not seeing anything are the people who spent all their time in the park between 12-3pm
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, i would be up before sunrise and leave after sunset, plus those are the best hours to photograph let alone see all the wildlife being active...12-3, thats something my parents would do ha

He is Majestic and beautiful, perfect shot with perfect colors. You know he could just about blend in there, lol.

*snerk* This looks awfully similar to 's picture "confidence". In fact it looks like exactly same wolf
And in same place, too :3
Cool photo, nontheless :3

π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah we were right next to each other

Beautiful shot of a beautiful animal. I just wish it had bigger resolution so that maybe I could try to draw it...

I love the way the wolf stands out and at the same time blends in. The red on his neck is the exact shade of red that those flowers have and his fur matches looks like hay! Great picture, even though its eyes are small they look amazing.
I feel like I am in that place when looking at your photo(s).Great job!
