Bull Elk Singing During the Rut, Rocky Mountain National Park

There are few sounds better than a bull elk bugling.

Observation is a wildlife photography skill that pays off with better images. For example, learning that bugling elk usually hold their pose momentarily, giving the photographer time to (quickly) reframe the image and select a slower shutter speed, is beneficial from an image quality perspective.

Join me to photograph the elk rut in Rocky Mountain National Park this September (2025). I recently learned that a repeat tour participant had to cancel their reservation for both weeks due to medical reasons, so I have one opening for the first week of this previously filled tour.
