National Wildlife Federation Photo Contest

Ben Cunningham, blogging over at BillHobbs.com, posted a link to the National Wildlife Federation's photo contest winners.

Great pictures. I also like the fact that they tell what kind of lens was used in taking each picture (although, I do wish it would have given a little more detail).

Most surprising...a picture of a grizzly taken with a 70-200mm lens (presumably the Canon 70-200 f/2.8, but it could have been the f/4 version). Unless he cropped, that's still closer to a grizzly than I would want to be...unless of course I have a large rifle with me as well.

My favorite picture is of the fox though. It was probably taken with this 500mm lens with one of these 1.4x teleconverters. Very nice.

That first photo of the owl does not even look real.
