I’ve been playing with some of my images from this past summers adventure to Yellowstone!!

On August 13, we had been taken up to the Olympic Village to visit the site of

the 2002 Winter Olympics at Olympic Park, Utah.

The only thing that comes to mind was breathtaking!

While waiting for Hurricane Irene I got in some more processing of my Images.

Enjoy!!

On one of our many Rest Stops, we had the pleasure of finding this little guy.

Our last place to Visit, my last Shot and had this great Honor!

Very humbling beauty of this very Large Memorial of Crazy Horse!

Enjoy!

Getting up at Sunrise and having nothing to shoot was frustrating. Till I had seen this jogger!

Worked on a few more when I got the chance.

Which do you like better? The B&W or the Color Version? These two are obviously not the same shot, the color version on the right has the Moon hidden behind some clouds. Its only a few minutes later, but I think this one is a more dramatic version.

Sunrise at the Grand Tetons B&W

Waiting for the Sun to kiss the Top of the Grand Mountains.

This was shot while Rafting down the Snake River.

The weather was perfect, and we had a wonderful time traveling up and around. We hit 5 States, and enjoyed this trip immensely.

I will be posting images as I get to them.

Enjoy!

Interior of the Historic Building that was opened to the Public in 1906.

Sunrise at the Grand Tetons.

Shot right through our Tour Bus Window. These two were not 10 feet away from me.

Pressure is starting to build for the next eruption.

I guess its because of thee First Heat Wave of the summer! But, the Hawks have finally come down to cool off.

Because of the rumors on the street, and that I haven’t seen them at all hanging out in there usual spots that I was giving up hope. But, patience I guess is its own reward!

The weather is starting to change for the better. I was able to sneak out and go to my usual places for spotting Wildlife right before the Sunset a couple of times this past week. Nothing to show for my time in the cold, but the Sun is setting later and later so Its only a matter of time before I start to capture the traditional wakeup of what ever lurks behind the scenes..

Well now, its about time….

A small bush in front of our house has started to sprout its small red berries…

its been a long Winter and having changed the clocks to Spring Daylight Savings

means its the first sign of nice weather and enjoying the Outdoors.

Having at my disposal a Camera Body that focuses

a lot faster does help in trying to capture a faster moving object.

Practicing my Panning Technique.

I only had a short time to play

and found using this body a lot

easier to keep the Gull in focus.
