Background

I knew these goats were up here prior to doing the Alsek float trip, but I didn't know what the chances were of photographing them. It's a 2300 ft. climb, some of it on pretty steep rock. Fortunately they were there and in a good location. I always figured that goat photography is mostly background, and this is hard to beat. I didn't do any close-ups, and concentrated on getting as much BG as possible in the shots. There were five billies, and I worked with them for about an hour before they went over the edge. There were nannies and kids too, but not in any place I could get at.
