Talk about persistence!   news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/04/1604...Content&sf24139274=1  


"I checked the camera once a week with one or two armed park rangers—approaching a bear’s lunch is a dangerous thing to do. We had protocols for getting from the car to the camera without risking our lives or the lives of the bears. The camera, a Nikon D7100 loaded with two 128GB cards, would almost always be full of images of ravens and vultures. I would skim through them on my laptop in my car before saving the good ones and deleting the bad ones. I’d then reset the cards, check the batteries, and leave."

WOW!!  Not to mention that D7100's life span all for this shot.  Incredible dedication.

Those ravens look surreal. What an incredible shot. Only thing that would have made it better is if you could see the peak of the Grand!
