Lower Yellowstone Falls

This is a shot of the Lower Falls on Yellowstone River. To give you a feeling of just how big it is and how much water is flowing over it, those are people standing just to the right of it at the brink of the falls. Pretty impressive and quite unnerving while standing there. LYLE

Big Springs

This 5 shot HDR of the springs at Big Springs, ID was hand held. We hiked around the springs and then the next day we kayaked about 4 miles down the river. Henry's Fork is initially fed by these springs, there are hundreds of them all in the same area pouring water into the river. The water is so clear that you can see all the fish and plants in the river. LYLE

Below Old Faithful

Judi and I went to Island Park in Idaho last week. While there we went into Yellowstone. This is a geyser just below Old Faithful. I took it just at sunset. I was zoomed in at 240 mm and set the ISO at 200 and shutter at 1/60 sec. Somebody told me the name of the geyser but I don't remember it now. LYLE

Stars over Silver Lake

This is a 30 sec exposure at ISO 3200, f/4 with the 16-35 wide angle lens. I got rid of a couple of ugly signs and added a slight vignette. This is looking mostly south at Silver Lake and was taken just after the other photo that I just posted. I also used a pen light to light up the bridge. LYLE

Big Dipper at Silver Lake

I went up to Silver Lake Saturday night to shoot the night sky. I shot this looking North
West, you can see the big dipper. I shot it at ISO 3200 in Manual and bulb for 84 sec at f/4. I used a 20 million candle power flashlight. I blew out part of the grasses but recovered most of it in Photoshop. It was almost 11:00 PM when I took it. LYLE

White Pelican

We took a stroll out at Farmington Bay this evening. There were a bunch of white pelicans all over the place. They generally tried to stay away from the few people that were there. This one was floating along the opposite shore. I kept my lens low to eliminate the mountains and cityscape in the background. I shot it at 1/50 sec, manual mode, f/40, ISO 3200 at 300 mm. I also have not had it in Photoshop other than to convert it to JPG. LYLE

White Bouquet

This "bouquet" was in the flower garden in front of where I work. I had my camera at work so I stayed just a bit to get a few shots of the flowers. I am not very good at it so this is as good as it gets. ISO 200, f/4, 1/2500 sec, 85 mm with a 24-120 lens. I went to manual mode so I could control both the shutter and aperture, I wanted the shallowest depth of field that I could get and have the shutter very fast to stop the movement of the wind on the flowers and to underexpose to get the detail of the white flowers in full sunlight.

Stanley Hotel Mantle

You liked the other Mantle so I dicided to show this one as well. I Photoshopped it as well, I added a deep blue filter and Black & White at 74%  Iso 1000 f20 1.6sec  Bruce

Stanley Hotel Piano

I was experimenting: with this photo and noticed the legs have wheels under them. I didn't see the wheels when I took the photo cropped this detail out just to show you, I didn't like the full picture so I won't post it. Bruce
