Rocky Mountain Wildlife Photography | Photographing Animals

I took this image yesterday from my back yard around dusk.  It seems I live in an area that is a frequent traffic route for Mule Deer.  This guy was grazing so I figured I would shoot a couple photos from the deck while making dinner.  As I've said before, photographing wildlife doesn't have to be a huge production.  Use whatever subjects are around to refine your skills, then when yor ready make the trip to Yellowstone.

This was photographed on a Nikon D100 with a Sigma 50-500 at 500mm, F/6.3, 1/80th, 400 ISO and post processed in Nikon Capture to lighten the image and adjust the white balance.
