About Bull Elk
The bull elk is often seen as a symbol of strength, power, and resilience. Its imposing antlers and majestic stature represent pride, majesty, and virility. Elk encourage us to connect with our primal instincts and embrace our natural selves. Tap into your inner strength and courage, stand tall and proud, and navigate the wilderness of life with grace and agility.
Adult male elk can weigh up to 1,100 pounds and can have antlers that span up to 5 feet. During mating season, bull elk will engage in a behavior called bugling, which involves a loud vocalization to attract females and intimidate other males.
They sure can be intimidating for us when seen up close! Shortly before this photograph was taken (from a safe distance – with a long telephoto lens!) I watched this large and impressive male specimen chase a poor soul down the bike path on his bicycle. In Banff National Park, you don’t have to venture far off the beaten path to be right in the heart of nature.

Chromaluxe Metal Prints
Metal prints make for a beautiful and modern presentation. The image is printed directly onto an aluminum surface, allowing for crisp high-resolution details and rich, stunning colours. Metal prints are surprisingly light-weight even at large sizes, and appear to pop out from the wall thanks to the foam backing.
They arrive at your house securely packaged with all needed hardware attached and ready to hang. Caring for metal prints is also a breeze. Just give them a wipe-down from time to time with a soft, dry non-abrasive cloth to remove any dust or finger prints.
Gallery Wrap Canvas Prints
Canvas prints are an affordable and attractive option, particularly if you are shipping overseas. Images are printed directly onto a textured canvas surface and stretched across a warp-proof wooden frame.
This results in a rustic appearance that suits nature photography perfectly. As with metal prints, canvas prints are lightweight and easy to hang. You can also wipe them down with a dry cloth to remove any dust.
Lustre Paper Prints
Lustre paper prints arrive rolled in a tube or with a rigid cardboard backing to keep them secure in the mail. Paper prints are ideal for you if you plan to frame and mat the print yourself. Giving you lots of options for matching your room décor.
Lustre paper has a slightly glossy surface that is more resistant to finger prints and glare than true glossy paper. We test printed many different types of paper before arriving at one that would suit this style of photography nicely.
