Bison Portraiture

in photography •  8 years ago 

Howdy! ¡Muy buenas!

Although it's been a brutal week, I was able to take some interesting photos. The bison were very close, almost within arm's reach.

Aunque ha sido una semana durísima, he podido sacar unas fotos interesantes. Los bisontes estaban muy cerca, casí a distancia de un brazo.

Look on the bison's back, where you'll see a bird mountie. These birds have a symbiotic relationship with the bison, eating the flies that constantly harass them.

Mire en la espalda del bisonte, donde se ve un jinete pajarito. Estos pájaros tienen una relacion simbiótica con los bisontes, comiendo las moscas que son tan molestias a ellos.

Just dont get close wearing red I suppose lol. Nice shots. I love that hit hiker!! Followed :)

Thanks! Definitely not getting out of the truck with then close. I've seen how fast they can move!

big bad buffalo...love the little bird on his back! hope you're using a telephoto or these are from the somewhat-safety of your car @fotosdenada!

Thanks @liberty-minded! I was in my battered old truck, with its taillight and rear quarter held together by gorilla tape, sticking the 70-200 out the window. They ended up coming within about 10' of the vehicle, which is amazing and unnerving.

Keep it up!
