What's your routine for shooting in Yellowstone?
There is only one road open in winter and it is the road between Gardiner and Cook City. I stay in Gardiner and go out around 7 each morning and just drive up and down the road. For the wolves there was a Wolf jam on the road and you knew to stop and see what was there. In that case the pack had killed an elk overnight and the first through the park in the am spotted it and word traveled! The next day we all headed back to the kill to see what would show up again. After a while you meet people and learn who the pros are that are there and what they drive and you follow them! If they are headed a direction in a hurry, follow! I found these coyotes (see other coyote posts) on the first late afternoon. I went to the same place the next day and he was still around. Partially because there was another kill nearby and they would check it out. So to answer the question, lots of driving the road and being in the right place at the right time. Parking with a Wolf jam is an issue and I missed one sighting due to no parking, I was too late!! There is a bunch of nothing accented with oh my gosh moments! When really bored the sheep are always in the same place!

Thanks. I used to wonder about what camera, set up, etc. the photographer used to get a shot, but have learned that that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is to be in the right spot at the right time and the best camera / lens is the one you have with you. Hence, some of my best shots are with my G16. Wonder is all around us most of the time.

An excellent set of photos including the coyote. I love the expanses of unspoiled snow!

Sorry for being so late in replying to your response... You should be able to get more detail out of the snow by using the "haze" filter in pp, or by just reducing the white and highlights. If you use "blinkies", you might consider reducing the blinky limit by 5% - this should do the trick. As you have seen, I take a lot of snow photos. It can be tough in bright sunlight. I base my exposure on the highlights and with my Sony, I have the blinkies set at 90%. When I look at my raw images in RawDigger, I now generally only see overexposure when the Sun is directly in the image. Enjoy the snow while it lasts!

All are very good, but the Coyote is terrific. Love that one, Photolady.
