Bob Locher Loc: Southwest Oregon

Very nice indeed!

One small point - the focal length of the lens would be of more value of we knew the format you were shooting - full frame, APS-C?

But regardless, I love the picture.

Cheers

Thank You, APS-C.

I will be traveling to Yellowstone next May and am I determined to bring my new aluminum tripod and remote. The one that I owned during the time of this trip was very heavy and included a rail for macros so not very practical.

Linda From Maine Loc: Yakima, Washington

Wow, Debbie, this has it all: soft light, super-interesting foreground, natural framing, the always-popular leading line

Quite stunning!

I really like that shot. (except I hate snow) Seriously though it's a wonderful image and the hint of more story to tell in the distance is a bonus.

Thank you very much, Rich.

The foreground is great, and in my opinion, the background is not. This makes the overall shot not so pleasing.

I got a Manfrotto MePhoto travel tripod which fit in my suitcase nicely and really came in handy. Where are you staying? In or outside of the park?

Yes, the older version of what I'm currently using, the EM1 Mark II. Thank you for offering the tripod. I purchased an aluminum one and it's much easier to handle and use. I actually purchased a bus tour through triple A, flying into Grand Rapids. My goal is to photograph all the beautiful scenery and wild life I see posted here on UHH.
I've got six months to 'get good or go home'. (: PS : Staying in the park.
