Yellowstone! Canary Springs
Canary Springs: Upper Terrace, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, October 2024 — I always like to do some telephoto studies at Upper Terrace, and on our first visit there I accidentally set the ISO way too high…a heal of the hand on the button problem…so I made my patient companions drop me off at the one end of the Upper Terrace Canary Springs trail and pick me up at the other. Worth the walk. Definitely. Canary Springs from above and from below. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii at 75 and 136mm equivalent. Program mode. Processed in Photomator.
Yellowstone! Pika reward
Pika: Sheepeater Cliffs, Yellowstone National Park, October 2024 — Persistence pays off. This was our 4th visit to Sheepeater Cliffs in search of Pika…on of the smaller species of wildlife in the Park, and certainly one of the cutest. Rock Bunnies with satellite TV dish ears. We had seen Pika on one visit before, but the light was failing when we were there and they were not close…this time they were close and right out in the sun. They love the little tuffs of grass at the edge of the talus slope. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications.
