Solus, what camera setup do you use?  The color saturation and sharpness are really great.

Most of these pics are from one of two Sony DSLR cameras. Generally with a 16-105mm lens shooting RAW. I also have a small pocket sized camera with a big sensor that shoots RAW and is easier to portage attached to the thwart than the DSLR. I generally shoot at the lowest ISO possible and try to cultivate steady hands.

Wow!  Very cool shot. I've never seen that coloration on a moose. What's the story here?  Did they eventually high tail it out of there or just keep an eye on you?

Thanks again- sometimes it's just a matter of luck or being in the right place at the right time.

Photo was taken just after ice out. the adult female was blowing her winter coat. I paddled the Moose River to Nina Moose Lake for an evening excursion, came around the bend and saw the family. They let me hang quite a while before I left them alone and headed to the lake. Heading back upstream I passed a tandem heading in for the night- I asked if they had seen the moose and they had not, a few minutes later I rounded the bend and there they were again, still on the same flat. I stayed with them for a quite a few minutes, repeatedly having to paddle back against the current, then Momma gave me the eye and I let them be.

Paddling down the Cache River towards Kawnipi immediately after ice-out back in 1996 my brother & I nearly ran into the identical scenario as we went around a bend in the stream.  Camera was in the pack, of course... not that it would have made much difference given my poor photography skills. 

As the Boy Scouts say, "Be prepared" when opportunity strikes!  That, and a modicum of skill, go a long way! 

Anyway, your pic kindles memories one of my best days -ever - in the North Woods.  It's the sort of  memory I clutch tightly as inevitable dark moments of Life sail past.  You are a gifted photographer, Solus.  We are fortunate to have a few like you on this board kind enough to share their artistry.  Thanks for that!

Jimbo   Cool

I came across a cow with calfs on the small island where Diversity Bay and the top of Sturgeon meet. Paddled by, drifted back… closer and closer each time. I stopped after she charged into the water after me when I got too close for her comfort.

We are now fresh out of new PODs btw. Hint hint
