Lets see the pics you have collected of wildlife in their natural surroundings. Include as much info as possible. No captive shots please, only free roaming.

Pronghorn along Sweetwater Rd outside Dillon, Montana, Sept 07. Ran in front of the Jeep for close to a mile till he took the next exit.

Better pic of the falcon eating.

So does photobucket or our site resize automatically because I was worried these would be huge but they are small which is good haha.

Thanks! My gear is nothing special at all. I have a d60 and a 55-200 f5.6 VR piece of crap lens. I cant afford nice bodies or glass but just like everyone else wish I could.

I have that same D60 combination, but haven't been able to get anything that good yet. Those look pretty sharp considering the lens and then being resized too.

ZJeepX · Feb 12, 2009

You can do a lot with the right lighting and a crap load of patience.

ZJeepX · Feb 12, 2009

Dont remember exactly where I was but I was camping somewhere In san jacinto.

This was a "wild" horse in Ireland. It may as well be wild because it just wonders all over the place I was excited to get so close to it

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack
zjeepx,
Have you changed any of the settings on your d60? The images I've been getting from mine just seem really soft, especially along the edges of objects. Yours look sharper to me for some reason. I borrowed a canon from a friend and it seemed sharper too, but I thought that might be because he dropped some serious coin on good lenses. I wonder if the auto focus might not be working properly. I'll have to try some in manual and see if they improve.

Heres a pic of some US marked horses in a NF in Montana. The horses arent penned in, the fence keeps them and other free roam cattle from scratching againt the cabin i was at. Imagine a big cow/bull scratching against a porch support beam...
