Ths young male wolf is playing a dangerous game.. He is trying to lure one of the 6 yearling female wolves from the Druid Peak Pack in Yellowstone to mate with and perhaps start a new pack. He could easily be killed by the other wolves in the pack since he's an outsider, (it happens often). Here he is howling to them near an old bull elk kill of the druids... I was working at the extreme edges of possbility. It was snowing hard (but small flakes) and shooting through a lot of atmosphere. The distance to the wolf was probablly 500 yards. I used stacked converters on my 600mm to get this. It was difficutl to get the cotrast I felt was needed in my PP. Sharpness is actually pretty good considering stacked converters, snow and atmosphere.
Canon 1D3, EF600mmF4IS, 2x & 1.4x, Gtizo & Wimberly, (my best long lens technique), ISO 1250, 1/500 @ F13, +1 1/3 EC in evaluative....
