I am also preparing for a winter photography workshop in Yellowstone National Park next month. As part of the preparation, I was reviewing some of my photographs from my last trip to the park. I ran across this photograph of a young Handsome Elk. It was taken along the Madison River on the western side of the park. Elk and American Bison congregate there in large numbers during the warmer months as it has an abundance of food and water.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to photographing landscapes and wildlife with a winter scene. I have never photographed in below-freezing temperatures for long periods of time. I sure hope I have all the right gear and clothing to keep me warm and focused (no pun intended). Stay tuned for photos from my trip in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13477\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13477\" style=\"width: 1125px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20160919-elk-herd-229-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"13477\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/handsome-elk\/handsome-elk\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20160919-elk-herd-229-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1125,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
