We were able to get reasonably close to this bison grazing in a snow shower near Yellowstone’s East Entrance gate. My 300mm telephoto focal length brings us close, and a crop brings us even closer. The snow is falling so fast that my 1/80th of a second shutter speed can’t freeze the snowflakes in place. Instead, they become flying needles of blurred snow, creating an incongruous screen over the face of the bison and perfectly framing its baleful eye.
