“Morning Glory HDR” – Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

This photo was taken in the beautiful Yellowstone National Park, located in the North Western part of Wyoming last fall. This pool, name “Morning Glory” is a famous spot in the Park, because of it amazing colors as well as the fact that it is slowly dying. Over the years, people have felt the need to toss trash into the pool, which has clogged the natural tubes, effectively reducing the hot water supply. Sadly this amazing natural wonder will no longer be with us at some point in the future.

This photo was taken on a Canon 5D Mark II with a Canon 24-70 2.8L Lens set on a tripod. I blended 3 separate images at different exposures to create this photo.

A Very Artistic Look at Yellowstone National Park…

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Yellowstone National Park is a very unique jewel located in the North West corner of Wyoming. Established in 1872, Yellowstone was America’s first official National Park and is currently the most visited park in the US, with an average of more than 3 million visitors each year. Although the park occupies 3,470 square miles, it is easy to feel over crowded when driving through the park or camping at any of the popular camp sites. It is for this reason that I always try to avoid visiting in the summer months, the parks busiest time. This is my second trip to the park in the fall and I absolutely love it.

Going through the park a second time and visiting some of my favorite places, I had the creative freedom to look at the park in a very different way. I hope you enjoy a very artistic look at the always beautiful Yellowstone National Park….
