It takes a lot to get a shot like this, and while there's a fair bit out of the photographer's control (weather, cooperative bison) there's a lot a photographer can do to be in place should the out-of-your-control things line up in your favor. Do your research to be in the right place as best you can and know your camera settings so you can shoot quickly before the action stops or the bison get in the "too close" range and you have to move. The overnight temperatures had been below zero, and we left the lodge before the sun came up so we could be in the thermal areas where the bison like to spend the night. The water from the steam freezes on their fur creating beautiful frosty bison. For this shot I was super lucky to come across a herd of bison walking toward our snow coach, but still far enough away to safely fire off a few shots.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you capture this image. Heading out from NC on Wednesday for 12 days. Want to make the most of the trip. Thanks in advance
