so.
hazy.
I can't exactly remember the details of this day... we started the day in a "rustic" cabin in the northern part of Yellowstone (and by "rustic" I mean no indoor bathroom, limited furnishings and PAPER thin walls, oh gosh, we could actually hear our neighbors zipping up their luggage!) Well, then we grabbed some coffee from the hotel lobby & hit the road. Did we go near or far? I can't remember now... Note to self: take notes for goodness sake.
What do I remember? It was a blazingly sunny day. blazing. And, well, I know my limits, and I absolutely cannot take a landscape at high noon. The question is, is my lack of skill or my lack of interest in contrasty lighting? Not sure. A stubborn mental block?
One of our stops for the day was the Minerva Terrace. It was fun to explore the trails near this geological marvel, but it would have been *even* cooler if there was some water pooled up!!! Anyway, the picture below is a representative image of the terrace. The whole thing looks similar to this scene...
Even with the sharp, sharp lighting, I was determined to not pass up a day of shooting in the park. So, being me, I pointed my camera down & found some interesting scenes. Given the grand scale of Yellowstone, these images are absolutely teeny tiny. And, in some respects may seem to "be a waste" of such an epic locale; however, these are real scenes of Yellowstone, right? It may not be an expansive vista, but why place value only on grandeur?
These are a few things that caught my eye...
As always, thanks so much for taking a look! I still have one more set of images to edit... just the pics from Glacier! I better hurry, eh, NPS 4 will be here before I know it ;)
