And the final series, left mammoth and drove back to Lake Hotel. Can't wait to get back again.











Here's a link to the slideshow of the full trip for anyone that wants to look through all 145 of the images I decided to process.

Yellowstone 2018

I can't compete with Yellowstone, or the size of swamps' lens, but it is Thanksgiving weekend here and though the days are grey, it is a lovely time of year to hike in the woods. My three favourite shots from a Sunday wander-about before sitting down to feast:

Something is wrong with me. That's all I noticed. Here is my pet dinosaur.

It was a rented lens, I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse. All nature photographers are envious of longer lenses. One fellow photographer at Yellowstone felt the need to let me know my rented long lens was being used inappropriately as it was mounted on the wrong tripod head. His lens of course was sheathed with appropriate protection--a camouflaged LensCoat--and mounted on the right head for maximum flexibility. His tripod legs were carbon fiber, which provides better stiffness and vibration control. My aluminum legs are more suspect to frigidity.

I should stop now.

Try to get the focus on the dinosaur's eyes.

I should've considered the potential for innuendo, but did not. I don't have a pet dinosaur but I do have a pet who is a great walking and hiking companion:

You're right: interesting layers. Did you take the shot while vaulting off your bike?

A few from the local refuge. Getting there early helps.

I love this picture and wanted to have it as my home page background - went to download it - and you have it copyrighted.

Drat.

I changed the settings, download away. Let me know when you've got it and I'll revert it back.

Done and done... thanks.

I bet I'm the only person here who can tell where that photo was taken just by looking at it.
