f 5.6, 1/400, isoo 400,
50-500 sigma,
313 focal length
tripod mounted
I need to add a bit more info here so that this shot is NOT misleading.. though Im sure most assume what is the case here...
this wolf was part of a captive pack and lives in an enclosed area near forest lake minnesota at the international wildlife center. I was allowed to enter the enclosure with supervision and take some shots on this beautiful snowy day. This guy was so friendly he was being petted by the person supervising us (there were 2 photographers)...
Suddenly the wolves all over started to howl (there are nearly 50 wolves on site if memmory serves *and it may not*)... so this guy started howling too.. he was closer than 20 feet away.. the "supervisor" was standing nearby and he was on the edge of the enclosure.. just to obtain this shot I had to close in quite a bit... I too wish I had more canvas and more wolf... I would literally have to create them.. though I did remove a bit off the top because some sort of horizontal line.. possible a bar was visible... along with that I removed just a small amount from the right as well.....
this is full and total disclosure on this shot.. I will be updating the rest of mine as time allows
