All exposure manually set, but did use autofocus with a single AF point on the head. I had to focus, shoot, unfocus, focus, shoot a few times to get some in sharp focus as the AF often focused on the falling snow, and not precisely on the animal.

John, great set. All unique captures. Looks like you had fun photographing the Bighorn sheep. Results prove that.

Bighorns are fun to see and photograph. I look forward to working them more next winter.

Excellent challenge! Any Big Horn action at this time of the year in Gardner Canyon? Fall season has been good to us there.

Did not see any there, but did not look too hard either.

Nice images. For me, #1, #5, #7, and #8 are most appealing.
