It took this at Rocky Mountain National Park (40.372901, -105.600843) this big fella had about 25 does that he was protecting. I set up my 4x5 about 4 feet off of the side of the road. Hopping that he wold eventaully come my way, and boy did her get close. at one point he was only 5 feet from the camera, of course I was back about ten feet. The camaera is a Wista M450 and has a scale on the side of the rail. Previous to him getting close I had prefocused different twigs and brush and noted the scale. When he got past me I quickly focused, pulled the dark slide and hopped for the best. I did get the shot but the light was getting low and my shutter speed was a little too long and the picture did not turn out TACK sharp, but never the less my little digital did save the day.Quote:

If the coordinates instead represent results when searching for Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), I might still have guessed correctly. Horseshoe Park is another RMNP valley, nearer the Fall River entrance, where rutting elk can also be viewed in full splendor. "Park" is a term for valley in addition to meaning the type of protected recreational area we commonly associate with that word.Quote:

Last year, amid growing concern about the elevation when elderly, I sold that lot and replaced it with one much closer to sea level in Bartlett, New Hampshire. The White Mountain National Forest and moose rut will serve as my photographic material after relocating there. :)
A digisnap of my Technikardan 45s with a 75/4.5 Grandagon-N while shooting in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The trick here was keeping the onlookers BEHIND the camera!

I used google earth, zoomed in on the location and got the coords.
I put this in my build thread but here is the recently completed 8x10. Walnut and Rosewood camera.
