\"Bobcat<\/a><\/p>\n

This might seem like an odd title when you realize this photo of a Bobcat was taken with a 800mm<\/a> \/ TC-1.25E. Filling the frame seems like a common quest of wildlife photographers often leading them to crop in post just so you see just the critter. While there is nothing wrong with this if you still tell the critter’s story. Often though, the story goes with the crop. And that robs that critter of telling its story, that’s sad.<\/p>\n

It was the end of the day, temps hovering around 10 degrees. There perched in a down tree reaching out into the Madison River, a Bobcat does what a cat does so well, waiting for its prey to come within reach. This Bobcat has become very efficient at catching waterfowl. If you look in the foreground in the right corner you’ll see the ripples of the Goldeneye that just saved its own life by diving for food. If I had moved in closer, used a different teleconverter, I could have more than tripled the size of the Bobcat in the frame. But I would have cropped out the water, its cover and the most important thing, the story. Next time you frame up that critter, even if you’re shooting with long glass, go wide and tell the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
