Night Of The Lynx

Lynx are very rare in the lower 48. Montana by far boasts the largest and healthiest population, but even so, estimates are only around 300 animals. The last 2 years I've focused a majority of my winter efforts on capturing these elusive carnivores with camera traps. After much research, and countless miles of scouting on skis, everything finally came together for me when I captured this young Lynx passing by one of my cameras under the cover of darkness.

Thats a fantastic image Zack. All the hard work is soon forgotten when you get images like this. Great lighting and starry sky really adds to the image.

Wow, that is an amazing shot.

For sure, thank you. I find the lighting to be the trickiest part sometimes, especially with snow. Very difficult to get it to not be so artificial looking.

Amazing photo Zack! The surrounding is Wonderful. What lens do you use?

This is a fantastic image , loved the lightning here.

I agree Zack ... dealing with snow and lighting is tricky. It worked great tho in the shot. Well done.
