How were you able to get this close? Like with the bighorn sheep how did you know when to cut it off and not get closer? I understand that you can get pretty close easily, but is there really that much to be worried about when approaching things like bighorn sheep? How close have you been able to get to moose and elk in Glacier?

@MrFloppywaffles i move close very slowly and make myself visible from a distance so that I dont startle the animal.in national parks animals are around people a lot more, especially in the area I was in in the video.

how close do you usually get to the wildlife, wolves and bears seem like they could attack you or something. id like to get into this type of photography but thats one thing I'm afraid of

[QQQQcon]

@AustinAlexanderAW I have gotten pretty close to many large animals but that is rare and the animal comes to me if it gets close. I would never approach to close to a wild animal. In national parks wildlife is general pretty use to people (especially yellowstone and glacier national park). What ever you do you must stay calm when close to these animals and NEVER surprise them.

I disagree on the note that you saying " these wild-life photographers take great picture not because they are good but because they use good equipment ", the equipment plays 50 % role in the picture however I believe wild-life photography requires a lot of skill and determination, not every one can do it.

[QQQQcon]

@snabilrizvi I am not arguing that it takes a lot of skill but longer lenses and faster cameras do help to get more wildlife shots that others with slower equipment can not.

I watched this video with my headphones on and at 1:20 I thought I had a Bee in my right ear !!! lol

@THEHAMM3T Why? Nikon has the 200-400! Nikons and Canons bodies are virtually the same. As for lenses, yes Nikon lacks in things like the 70-200 F4 for budget but Nikon has every wildlife lens Canon has plus what is likely the best, the 200-400!

I have liked and do appreciate what you are trying to do and applaud you for it but for your nature shots you need to get lower to get a better perspective.

[THEHAMM3T]

first thing you need to do is to sell your NIKON and get a CANON body and L lenses!
