This little fellow spent quite a lot of time scratching and chewing on this piece of driftwood. It was as if he was posing for us. Magical...

Behind The Lens

Location

In Wyoming in January after four days of snow storms.

Time

We took this later on the morning. As is was 6 degrees below zero Fahrenheit the ranch hands wore snow hats instead of cowboy hats. That is the way I would have been riding in that temperature.

Lighting

It was delightful to see how they really dress and ride in cold weather!????

Equipment

Hand held. Nikon D7000 with a 70-200 f2.8 lens.

Inspiration

My love of the western lifestyle.

Editing

Minimal post processing. Cropping and adjustments for lighting

In my camera bag

Nikon D750, 18-300 lens. Other lenses and tripod depending on what I am shooting.

Feedback

It is hard to get these type photos unless you are part of a group photographing this. Tough to say but most people have to pay to get these type shots. Unless of course you are fortunate to live this lifestyle.
