Ranger Rick Spread
Ranger Rick magazine was one of my favorites as a kid. Nice to know that decades later my images are helping to inspire the next generation of wildlife lovers. Thanks to the National Wildlife Federation for sending a few advance copies of their May 2023 issue. Only the bottom left and upper right images of the spread are mine (see below). Top image is from Badlands National Park, South Dakota (Nikon D200 with Nikkor 600mm manual focus lens, ISO 200, f/11 at 1/320th of a second). Bottom image taken in Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota (Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens, at 340mm, ISO 800, f/4 at 1/3200th of a second)
