Month: October 2008

Last week I had another assignment due for my photography class. The assignment was to capture different images very close up or even with a macro lens. Unfortunately I don’t own a macro lens yet but I did rent one for a few days to give it a try and to have some fun taking pictures.

I ran into other obstacles with this assignment. The weather has been clear but very cold and many of the flowers that I love to photograph are almost dead because it has been freezing every night.

Hope that you enjoy the photographs.

On our last day in the park we drove by Yellowstone lake on our way to the Southern entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The lake was beautiful and is very large. The park guide stated that the lake is the largest mountain lake in North America. The photographs were cropped to really dramatize the shoreline and the mountains behind the trees.

Yellowstone National Park was absolutely amazing. The photographs varied a little more in the park because there were mountains, animals and geysers that made some different subjects to photograph.

While leaving the Teton National Park on our way to Yellowstone National Park, I pulled over at a turnout on the northern end of Jackson Lake. I was impressed with the clouds and the lighting that was hitting the mountains and the lake.

One of the lakes at the foot of the Teton Mountains is called Jenny Lake. The lake has a trail the follows the eastern shore. I took several photographs at the south shore and the ones I am sharing are from the northern shore. One was taken up on a small hill and the other was taken down near the water.

Oxbow Bend probably was my favorite place to photograph the Teton Mountains. The last two photographs are exactly the same photograph; however, one is color and the other is mixed using monochrome.

Teton National Park is probably one of my most favorite national parks. It is stunningly beautiful and the grander of the mountains just blows me away. I spent hours photographing these mountains from different locations. Although I didn’t not document my locations, I hope that I have approximately located these photographs for the turnouts that I took them at.

Elk Ranch Flats Turnout: The fence and the colors were just amazing at his location.

Elk Ranch Flats Turnout: This photograph was taken when it was a little more cloudy. This photograph has so much more meaning to me because of the horses that were roaming the ranch. There were about six horses. My mom inspired the love that I have for horses.

Teton Point Turnout: This was a great photograph that just looked stunning in black and white (a monochome mixture using a red filter).

Willow Flats Overlook: This photograph is taken on a small butte that overlooks Jackson Lake and also the Teton Range. There was a moose about fifty feet away from where I was taking this photograph.
