European lynx
About ten years ago I encountered this European lynx (Lynx lynx). The lynx was walking toward me and stops when I sat down. I managed to take four pictures and this is my favorite.
I used film and if I remember correctly, I used Provia 400 and a Minolta Dynax 7 and a 80-200/2,8 telephoto zoom.
A photographer that had a really close encounter to a lynx is Terje Hellesø. This picture is fantastic. Terje photographed the lynx with a 17mm fisheye!

UPDATED – Terje Hellesø has admitted cheating!
Nah, Terje didn’t have that of a close encounter to the lynx, as the picture was made using cut copy and paste in photoshop.

Yes, I have heard and read about it. Terje, who preached that manipulation in photoshop was a bad thing!
