Moose Family, Denali National Park, Alaska #3027

Who does not love baby moose with their mother, and isn’t this an “aww” moment. In fact, I was swooning the entire time I was shooting this scene. I started shooting and was so taken; I almost missed the reflection in the pond. I readjusted and got off a few more frames before the moose family disappeared. Photographers must remember not to get too absorbed by the scene and miss important details like “controlling the frame” or cropping. This photo illustrates the month of August in my 2018 Alaska Calendar. Enjoy the photo and thanks for visiting – Camera: Nikon D800, Lens: Nikkor 80-400mm, Digital Capture, hand held ©Mark Kelley
