Wolf @ Wolfpark Well, I’m headed back to Wolf Park; hopefully, this month and perhaps again next month. Normally, I don’t capture images of captive wildlife. Wolf Park treats their wolves like they were in the wild and conducts wolf research in conjunction with major universities and national parks. I have not been able to get there when snow was on the ground to capture images of wolves in winter snow. They offer a few opportunities each year for photogs to learn and photograph from inside the enclosure (large, think 40 acres) with the wolves. Also, with a decent telephoto lens, good images can be captured from the enclosure fence. This image was captured inside the enclosure. The 135mm lens on a D300 gives an equivalent 200mm lens so I was fairly close to this wolf. It’s an interesting experience; not necessarily for the faint of heart.
