January 6 - Fishing Cone
This is another image from last fall's trip to the West Thumb area of Yellowstone. There are so many fantastic things to photograph in Yellowstone, it's hard sometimes to know where to start, and there's no way to do it all. I just wish I lived closer to this place.
October 6 - Additional Trip Pictures
I've worked through a few more of my 3200+ images that I took on the camera club trip. I don't expect that I'll find many more that I really like. If I get 1 out of 100 images that I like, I think I've done pretty good (it sure is a good thing I'm shooting digital!)
During our first evening in Grand Teton National Park, we ended up at Jackson lake to see a sunset. There wasn't much of one, but I did like this mountain silhouette.
This is from Wind River Lake near our lodge. These alpine meadows in this area are just incredible. Peaceful near dusk, and vividly colored when lit by the sun.
One of the mountains visible from Signal Mountain. It had been cloudy that day, and I really liked the half-hidden mountain peak.
A panographic image (more than one image stitched together in this case) of Two Oceans Lake.
Great Fountain Geyser was just a special place when we were there. This is a 20 second exposure from when it was nearly dark.
From Rocky Mountain National Park. There wasn't much color in the sky that night, but with a longer lens you could frame the vibrant bits.
And after the sun was long gone, there were still some very interesting clouds. This is another long exposure when it was nearly dark.
The next morning at Sprague Lake, there were some great reflections in the water. In this case, the reflections were of golden aspens on the mountains.
And a little rock with the same reflections.

Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone was really fantastic. Because our lodging was so far away, we couldn't really get into the park before the sunrise, but we did three sunsets there and had unique photographs each evening.
On our first trip, we drove by Lewis Falls - there was a quick little trail that takes you to this viewpoint, which is much better than from the road.
Across the river from the Grand Prismatic Spring, there's this interesting bit of runoff that goes into the river. The sun was peeking through the clouds when I took this picture.
On to West Thumb Geyser Basin - there are a lot of little pools here. Fantastic place to walk around.
On a different day, we visited Old Faithful a second time (much more interesting than the first).
After the sun went behind the hills at Gibbon Falls, there were a lot of nice details to see.
The following two photographs are from the Firehole River Drive.
Firehole Falls
On our last evening in Yellowstone, we went down Firehole Lake Drive just to see what was out there. When we saw the Great Fountain Geyser, we knew we had a place to shoot sunset. There were a handful of photographers there when we returned later in the evening (turns out we weren't the only ones to think of this). We got a little bit of light, and then the geyser erupted (we still have spots on our car!).
