The eye of the bison for Tatanka Tuesday
Extreme closeup of a bison bull in black and white. (Tony’s Takes)

When you have a big boy almost too close for your lens, you might as well zoom in and get the detail. That is what I did this past Sunday when this bull was right near the road. He wasn’t really doing much beyond scratching his butt on a tree so I took the opportunity to grab a close up, detailed shot.

I was immediately drawn to the eye and how you can actually see a tree across the road in the reflection. A conversion to high-contrast black and white really makes it “pop” and showcases not only the detail of the eye but also the fur and horn.
