I had been to Yellowstone before...several years ago and was looking forward to the trip to see it through a camera lens. You definitely look at things differently. Light is SO important. To that end I begged Jim to get up at 430am to view the full moon totally unobstructed by articificial light. It was SO worth it. The quiet and crisp air created a moment I'll never forget. I was happy to stand and at the edge of the pull off area and just be. It didn't matter that the picture didn't turn out like I wanted, the one in my memory is PERFECT!
We left that area to head south into the park. Right around sunrise we were at Lake Yellowstone to capture the sunrise. A very nice time of day, most of the wildlife photographers are not up yet to clog the roads and hog the views. My goal on this trip was not to get a lot of wildlife photos-I will leave that to the professionals. I just wanted to try and capture some of the beauty of the countryside.
Instead of my usual wild ramblings I think this post will just be some of my photos from Yellowstone that I thought were good. I hope you will enjoy them!
