Bison are always great subjects for landscape shots because of their distinctive shape. I photographed this one grazing on a ridge line early one morning on the recent Badlands trip. As with several other of the Badlands shots, I took five exposures and blended them in Photomatix Pro in order to retain the detail in both the foreground and the sky — which is another great thing about bison, they usually don’t move very fast. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 70mm) ISO 400, f/20 at 1/100th, 1/400th, 1/200th, 1/50th and 1/25th of a second
Actually, they taste pretty good. Bison burgers are common at restaurants and are leaner and better for you than traditional burgers from cattle. Although I prefer not to think about eating the animals that I photograph and post.

My daughter, Amanda, told me about your work about a year ago.
I have been enjoying your beautiful photography ever since. Thanks!
Thanks Suzi, I appreciate it.
What a spectacular sky!
Just photographed (x5) at the right angle to fit in with that beautiful sky! Very nice image Sean 🙂
Thanks Lawrie. I saw that bison fitting nicely into the bright spot in the sky and knew that it was an opportunity for a daytime HDR shot.
