This pine cone was laying in about an inch of water at Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone. I thought it looked so neat and is one of only a few that I shot with a single capture.
I met a very nice photographer by the name of Ally Bain from the UK while shooting Mammoth. I had left my other lenses in my car and wanted to capture a wider view of the steps. He pulled his very nice 24-70 off of his camera and handed it to me. WOW, what a nice lens. Thanks Ally.
This is a photo of the steps of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone. It is very difficult to capture all of the detail of these steps without using HDR. But I also love the dynamic range of this type of photography along with the creative aspect it offers.
I went up in the mountains this morning (retired now, you know) just below the trail head to Lake Blanch. This is a 5 shot HDR of what I saw. It was so nice to not be in a hurry to do anything and just enjoy the surroundings. Judi was at work so I was able to take my time at each spot. LYLE
In a rather uncharacteristic move, this photo is completely untouched (except for the signature). I did not even try to straighten and crop it, it is just the way I shot it. The sunset was incredible, every shot was a wonder. You just could not look in any direction and not see this wonderful beauty. LYLE
This wonderful view of the Logan, Utah temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seems to beckon one to enter and enjoy the tranquil setting of this magnificent building.
