Yellowstone images from this past week

Hi all,
I just finished my first photo workshop in the park and it was super. My group had a "3 dog" photo week with good chances to photograph coyotes, red fox, and wolves twice! Plus we did a lot of landscapes. And we got lucky with Old Faithful. The sky was dark gray, but the sun was heading for a small patch of blue sky to the west. Would we still have the dark gray background but sun lighting Old Faithful when it erupts? Sometimes you get lucky. Also, I just updated my Automatic Focus Stacking article. Now I use it to hit sharp focus in a snowstorm. Here is the link.

By the way, I kept my photo gear down to 1 camera and only 3 lenses. Canon R5, RF 15-35mm, RF 24-105mm, and RF 100-500mm. And when using the 1.6x crop in the camera, I get the field of view of 800mm. So I cover every focal length from 15mm to 800mm, plus a medium tripod and the Really Right Stuff ballhead.

Pretty nice. As far as squirrel photos go, the backlit photo is probably the nicest I have seen.
