When I saw this bison grazing on a hill with the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Mountain Range in the background I knew I had to get an image of it and I did.

Bison in front of the Wasatch Range, Antelope Island, UtahBison in front of the Wasatch Range – Nikon D300, f7.1, 1/640, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 242mm, natural light

I only had time for this one image because a vehicle was coming up up the road.  Even though I didn’t have time to change my settings or check my exposure, the bison image turned out well.

I’m pleased with this bison photo because it contains so many icons of the western U.S., the bison grazing on prairie grasses, the Great Salt Lake and a mountain range in the background.

Life is good.
