This past week I tried someplace new to me for photographing bighorn sheep. As I arrived, off in the distance on the side of a cliff and straight into the sun, I saw the unmistakable form of a ram. I quickly grabbed my camera and took a few quick shots, this being one of them. I really like his silhouette and the hint of light on the side of the cliff. I got many more shots that day at closer range and with “proper” exposure but this one is kind of cool.
