Young Elk Decides He Does Not Like this Photographer (Video) Posted: 14 Nov 2013 12:49 PM PST The telephoto lens has certainly helped to mitigate some of the dangers inherent in wildlife photography, but the craft is still widely considered to be a risky business—requiring photographers to brave the elements and stalk animals like mountain lions who may suddenly disappear into the underbrush to stalk the photographer. In this video, a young male elk bullies a photographer named James York in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, TN, reminding us all that wildlife photography can be just that—wild: The footage was captured by Vince Camiolo, one of several photographers drawn to Cataloochee Valley at sunrise one October morning to photograph the elk. At first, the elk just seemed curious about the York's camera, Camiolo recounted in the video caption, but the young bull’s curiosity quickly turned to aggression as he sought out a sparring partner. "I quickly switched the camera to video and let it roll (much of the time wondering when I should seriously consider intervening)," said Camiolo. “My first thoughts were, “Wow, he’s getting pretty —- close here,” said York. While many have questioned why he didn't simply stand up and scare the elk away, York has said that he was simply following his instincts to protect himself and his vital organs, hoping that the elk would lose interest (Via Petapixel). "I've been up close before without incident. I hoped being still and passive would see him pass on," York said. "I felt that standing up would provoke him more and leave me more vulnerable to goring… I was relieved to see the Ranger coming." Weighing more than black bears (500-700 pounds) and being nearly as tall as good-sized pickup trucks, elk do have a reputation of being dangerous. Both males and females will charge when they feel threatened or challenged. Males have even been known to charge vehicles. This young male elk mistook York for a sparring partner, but at least York managed to get a few good shots out of it and has found a way to laugh about the frightening experience. “I’ve joked with my friends that at least he took me for a buck and not a cow!” Go to full article: Young Elk Decides He Does Not Like this Photographer (Video) What are your thoughts on this article?

Photographers Faced With Suspicious Activity Reports Posted: 14 Nov 2013 11:41 AM PST Just how much does the government need to know about our personal activities as photographers? Judging by the flood of reports the ACLU posted on their website which contain suspicious activity reports collected by the feds on various private citizens, many of whom happen to be working photographers, the government may want to know a little more than what most find comfortable. “Bridge in Black and White” by Katherine Ross. Click image to see more from Katherine Ross. According to a story released by NPR, Hal Bergstrom, a photographer based out of California was questioned on multiple occasions after he was observed photographing bridges and industrial scenes. Outside of being frequently harassed by security guards and local law enforcement, even when shooting on public property, Bergstrom has also answered a knock on the door from Federal agents, wanting to know what he was up to and asked him questions such as, “Do you hold any ill will toward the United States of America?” What is most unsettling about having your every move recorded and questioned, is the fact that it’s not clear what the reports are being used for. At least 53 Federal Agencies are currently collecting data alongside multiple regional agencies. While it’s likely that the information will simply be dismissed after each case is investigated, the fact that it is happening at all is somewhat unsettling for many.
