Beartooth Highway: Above Timberline
The strange alpine landscape of the Beartooth Mountains just east of Yellowstone National Park, above timberline. Lots of lakes in the deep valleys. Sony a5100 with E10-18 f4 at 15mm equivalent. Superior Auto with Landscape scene mode selection. Processed in Photomator.
Yellowstone! From Blacktail
We made one more run up over Blacktail Plateau, past where the carcass was earlier in the morning, just to see what was happening. The scenery was gorgeous…the light just coming across the plateau almost horizontal, and picking out the mountains to the north. Sony a5100 with E10-18 f4 @ 15mm equivalent.

Yellowstone! View from another planet
Upper Terrace, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, October 2024 — Mammoth Hot Springs really is so unique that you are not sure you are still on earth. Sony a5100 with E 10-18 f4 at 15mm equivalent. Superior Auto with Landscape Scene Mode. Processed in Photomator.
Maine! King Tide
The super moon is up…Beaver or Bear Moon, depending on who you listen to…and the tides are running very high, completely flooding the marsh. This is looking both ways from the bridge over Back Creek on the way into our local beach. Sony a5100 with E 10-18 f4 at 15mm equivalent. Superior Auto with Landscape Scene mode.

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.

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! Mud Volcano
The activity at the thermal features of Yellowstone National Park varies day to today with both the above ground and the underground weather. This was our second stop at Mud Volcano, and it was much more active this day than the other, with huge plumes of steam. These are not geysers. They do not erupt. The output of super-heated water and steam is pretty constant. It is called a mud volcano because the water mixes with clay and emerges as a super hot slurry, with the consistency of heavy cream, and a smooth mud grey color. The close up of the plume is with the Sony a6700 and Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 75mm, in Program mode, and the two other shots are from closer with the Sony a5100 and Sony E 10-18 f4 wide zoom at 15mm equivalent, and Superior Auto with the Landscape Scene Mode selected.

Yellowstone! Sheepeater Creek
Sheepeater Creek flows at the base of Sheepeater Cliffs. We went there several times to try for the Pika who live in the talus at the foot of the cliffs, and each time I was captured by the beauty of meadows, the forest, the cliffs and the sky.

Yellowstone! Slough Creek
Slough Creek has been, for many years, the place to see wolves in Yellowstone. They have denned several different spots on the far slopes in this wide angle landscape. From the Slough Creek access road you get “scope” views. They are so far away what you do not get much at all with any conventional camera set-up…so not my favorite place to see wolves…but one of the only relatively reliable spots in the park. Which means there is always a crowd, and parking is always a challenge. Another reason it not my favorite place. 🙂 Still, it is one of them of the most beautiful little valleys in Yellowstone, and always worth a landscape shot.
