This silhouette was an image I had in my head for awhile, just itching to get out! In the deserts of southern California I spent a few days getting to know a herd of peninsular bighorn sheep that was particularly friendly. I would hang out with them for hours at a time, watching from a distance and learning their behaviors and personalities. As the sheep began to find their favorite rocks to sleep on for the evening, this ram started walking up the face of a giant boulder on a cliff; perfect terrain for a bighorn to take advantage of! As the sun began to set and the light fade, I only had a few minutes left to work with the sheep before nightfall. I took advantage of the situation when there was no longer enough light to get good detail from a moving animal in low light and decided to focus more on capturing a silhouette!
