Bison are one animal I find hard to photograph. Yes, they are an iconic Western creature and are hard to find outside of the mountain West. But they also are often inactive – furry, big, brown animals that love nothing better to stand around and eat. Not terribly thrilling from a photography perspective.
So I am always doubly thrilled when I’m able to capture a decent Bison image. Something different than the standard “Bison derriere in the middle of the road” shot or the “Bison grazing so far off they look like cattle” picture. Images that present these animals in a way that makes us look at them differently; makes us wonder what is going on inside those fuzzy heads. This shot was made with a slow shutter speed and a fast-moving Bison that got a little too close for comfort. The blurring gives the image a sense of movement… maybe the movement of time?
