Grouse shots

[mtmiller]

I was a little apprehensive about attending BHA this weekend since I didn't want to miss a good weekend to shoot grouse if the weather was good. Feeling better, last weekend was a great time to be out shooting pics in tremendous conditions. Guess I can now head to MSLA, drink beer and be merry with no guilt.

Thank you for taking the time to share these great pictures.

I find myself having more and more respect for these prairie gladiators. They can thrive in the harshest conditions out there.

Wow, very nice. Tell us a little about the setup for these. (cam, lens, settings.. distance)

Nikon D7200, 500f4, most shots 15 - 25 yards (too much lens on some birds). Usually shoot wide open, but if I can keep ISO at 160 or lower, I will increase the fstop. Try to keep shutter 1250 or faster.

thanks much....

These threads always make my day! Thanks for sharing pics and tech specs. Always curious how others get some of those amazing images.

Awesome Shots! A lot of the leks down south are still covered in snow. We might not get down there till mid April.

You take a lot of awesome photos, but these guys always take the cake for me. What an awe-inspiring critter.

Ever thought of making a trip to shoot blue grouse?
