Gone to See North America Road Trip. Day 04: Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota.
Early Morning Silhouette of a Bighorn Ram in Midair. Missouri river overlook in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D700 camera and 80-400 mm VR lens (ISO 220, 400 mm, f/11, 1/1600 sec).
I was focused on shooting the sunrise over the Missouri river. Thanks to Winston Hall, a former photography mentor who taught me to always look behind because there may be a better picture. The Bighorn left as soon as it realized I was there.
