Bison Blues - Montana
Here is one last bison image from my photo shoot with them in the snow a few days ago with the @getolympus OM-D E-M1X camera.
With the snow coming down harder and the wind picking up, even the bison said enough is enough and settled down to wait out the snowfall with their backs to the wind.
I wanted to show the cold and the isolation that they face during moments like these so I used a slower shutter speed letting the snow streak across my frame. When developing this shot I first converted it to black and white. I wasn’t getting the complete feeling in the image I was after though. So I color toned the black and white image, cooling my shadows and warming my highlights slightly. That provided me with an image that says it all in regards to what bison face during a snowfall.
It was photographed with the Olympus OM-D E-M1X camera and M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 Pro lens with 1.4x teleconverter, gear that Olympus has loaned me for a couple months. It was shot hand-held at 1/50s, f22, at ISO 64. RAW file was processed into a black and white with Capture One Pro followed by color toning in @skylum_global Luminar Flex (save 10% with code mattsuess).
