Yellowstone! Pilot and Index Peaks in Autumn

Not quite in Yellowstone National Park, but on the boarder in Montana, Pilot and Index Peaks dominate the skyline from the east, coming down off the Beartooth Highway into Cook City. The fall foliage in the foreground marks the season. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400Di3 at 117mm equivalent. Program mode. Processed in Photomator.

Tetons! From the Snake

I hope you are not getting tired of the Grand Tetons already. We only had a late morning and early afternoon there but the autumn scenery was spectacular. We drove a barely a road down off the highway right down to the banks of the Snake River for a different perspective on the mountains. Top view is with the Sony a6700 and Tamron 50-400 Di iii at 75mm equivalent. The bottom view is with the Sony a5100 and E 10-18 f4 at 15mm equivalent. Program mode on the a6700 and Superior Auto on the a5100. Processed in Photomator.

The Tetons! Autumn

We only had a few hours in the Tetons, as we drove down from Gardiner and had to get back by evening. One of our first stops was at a bend in the river for a classic autumn view of the Tetons. Here we have a moderate wide angle view with the Sony a5100 and Sony E 10-18 f4 at 27mm equivalent…and a moderate telephoto view with the Sony a6700 and Tamron 50-400 Di iii at 75mm equivalent. Both capture an aspect of the autumn mountains. Superior Auto on the a5100 and Program mode on the a6700. Processed in Photomator.

Yellowstone! Pilot and Index

While not quite in Yellowstone National Park, Pilot and Index peaks dominate the skyline near the Northeast Entrance and Silver Gate. I could not find any information on how they got their names, but they are obvious landmarks visible for miles, and I am sure were used as such by early settlers and explorers.

Yellowstone! Cottonwoods in color

Maine! Ruby Red

Nothing so ruby red
as the leaves of beach rose
in late October
in Southern Maine
along the Bridle Path
back half a mile
from the sea.
If you have seen them
you know I am right!

And now you have seen them. Sony a5100 with Sony E 10-18 f4 wide angle zoom at 15mm equivalent. Superior Auto with Scene Selection Landscape.

Maine! Mousam and Roger’s Pond

I got out for a walk around Roger’s Pond by the Mousam River in Kennebunk, Maine yesterday and caught some of the now fading fall color or Southern Maine. Not in full sun, so a bit on the subtle side, but that is okay. It is the season. Sony a5100 with the Sony E 10-18 f4 zoom at 15-27mm equivalents. Superior Auto with Scene Select (Landscape).

Maine! Above Old Falls Pond

It would not be fall in southern Maine (or at least to me), if I did not get out to photograph the stretch of stream above the bride at Old Falls Pond. This is the Sony a5100 with the E 10-18 f4 zoom at 15mm equivalent. Superior Auto with Landscape Mode selection. Processed in Photomator.
