Absolutely amazing series of shots. #5 is my favorite. What lens were you taking these with? Settings?

I really like #2. They're all good though.

Damn I would love to get to Yellowstone. Great pics. I like #5 as well. You must have quite the zoom to get those far off shots then the close ups?

Thanks Everyone! Glad you've all enjoyed them.

What lens were you taking these with? Settings?

The shots were just making the best of the situation w/ the lens on the camera. The coyote in #5 wasn't 10 feet away so it was easy to get that "zoomed in." While the coyote in #4 was far away, and the lens was zoomed all the way in... It was far enough away that I went for the open yet simple composition. Hope that helps?
