[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Doug and I had an offlist conversation after the "Fraudulent photos" thread back in October about lynxes, because I have a landscape from Russia with a tiny blur in it that on close inspection with a lupe is definitely a lynx. I made statements to Doug to the effect that I couldn't imagine how to get a good shot of a wild lynx except to spend months, maybe years out there looking for them. That might be on average, but as it turns out, you can get an amazing photo of a wild lynx by taking one stroll in Yosemite in broad daylight. Sometimes luck just works in your favour. Great work Adam, perfect capitalisation on an incredible opportunity.
