Last Signings of the Summer

Mount Haynes and the Madison River. Canon 5D 3, 21mm, tripod, 2 seconds @ f22, ISO 100

omorrow, Wednesday, August 14 brings me to the last four book and print signings of the summer in Yellowstone National Park. I’ve had a lot of requests this summer for landscape photos so I decided to add several new images to the display for this month, including the three seen here. Above, a sunrise view of Mount Haynes towering over the Madison River made the selection. While I have plenty of images of Mount Haynes, which isn’t actually a mountain but rather an ancient lava flow, this one appealed to me the most due to the light on the cliffs and the colorful clouds.

Teepees at Madison Junction. Canon R5, 105mm, handheld, 1/500mm @ f11, ISO 1600

This next image was taking a couple of summers ago when they did the teepee displays in a few places in the park, one of them being the amphitheater at Madison Junction. These scene really didn’t need anything extra to make it beautiful and honestly, I had hoped there was enough fog in the background to obscure the teepees as it was the foreground that brought me to this spot. And then of course I wasn’t thrilled with the people walking around. That is until I came back to this image on the computer. The foreground is great but I feel this image grabbed a piece of the past, depicting a native American village along the river. The people walking around only added to that feeling and gave it life.

Lupine and the Teton Range. Canon 5D2, 28mm, tripod, 1/60 @ f22, ISO 400

Finally, I opted this image from Grand Teton National Park. Yes, I stock a few images during my signings from Grand Tetons, since it’s the sister park to Yellowstone. And I’ve had a hard time keeping them in stock. I went through some summer images and really liked this one with the low angle and lupine grabbing the scene, balancing it out nicely. As I wrap up the summer signings this month, I’ll take a good look at what I’ll stock up for next summer and perhaps add some more new products as well.
