Elk, winter herd

[Downrigger]

This herd is in our canyon for the browse on the south facing slopes. They're hard to catch up with. Today I got lucky. They were on a neighboring ridge, but quickly headed down for cover. Best I could do with my trusty 70-200.

Can't figure how to upload more than one when starting a thread. Here's another I wanted to share. C&C welcome, of course.

Both are good but I like their butts in the second shot, Mark...and the expressions on their faces...

As for uploading a second one, then at the bottom, you will see Preview Post. You will see your message box again where you can insert the next line of link for your shot...Go from here and give it a try...I always click on Preview Post to check if my image loaded...

'Hope this helps...

Nicely done.

very good Mark, I like the division of hill and sky in the first one.

Thank you John, James, Izzie. Sorry about the aspect distortion in the second shot. It's a tiff and cropped at about 4x5, but for some reason is compressed to a 1x1, which is weird, because the wide crop in the first shot worked out fine. Any advice on that one welcome. Anyway, it was fun to finally catch up with these creatures.

Your photos make me miss seeing elk herds in Grand Teton National Park.

Not on my system. It's definitely not 1 x 1 and appears to be something at least close to 4 x 5, though I didn't measure it.

Thanks for the look, Mike. Last time I was in Teton/Yellowstone I was solely a fly fisher, admiring but not photographing the elk. Looking forward to getting back with my photo gear. Glad you don't see the distortion I do... on my screen, they look like runway model elk.

What a beautiful scene. I've never seen Elk. I absolutely adore the 2nd image. Beautiful!

I like both of them very much

I like them very much, especially the second one; no body will have to complain about eye contact any more

Mark, which method are you using for uploading?

Tinypics is probably the easiest. In which case, after doing the first upload, plus copy and paste, simply click the Upload tab of the little Tinypics box and repeat the process.

Just paste each extra upload on a different line.

Much the same thing applies with links. But sometimes if I have to search for an image and there is a risk of me losing what I have already written plus pasted links, I will Submit the Post part way through the process then add extra images as Edits; or as new posts in the same thread. Which seems to be what you have done.

I have been caught out before and lost my part finished posting - which isn't much fun!

[Downrigger]

Thanks so much, Christina, Binnur, and Nandakumar. Geoff... Thanks, I do use tinypics. I only get one upload with posting a new thread, after loading one, the browse is unresponsive for picking a second shot. I'll try what Izzie suggested - it'll probably work for me, too.

When attempting to upload more than one image, Mark, are you using the Go Advanced option? I find that I am often limited in uploads when using Post Quick Reply

And it took me a while before I realised that you could go back to the Upload Tab on the Tinypics box and keep posting more images.
