Yellowstone 2008 slideshow

video

Here it is finally - some of my favorite shots from Montana/Wyoming. All of these started out in Lightroom, and I cannot tell you how much control the combination of that software along with final processing in Photoshop gave me over these images. I forced myself to use curves for adjustments, as I am trying to get better at that. I think i'll post some before and afters later on, as this was really all about shooting and pre-visualizing how the FINAL image was to appear. NO - most of these thing did NOT look this way in person & YES, I sure wish they HAD!!
I have a simple web gallery on my site as well if you're looking to examine any image (hopefully not for a stern critique!) You may actually want to watch the video there as well, since the size and quality are much better than here in Blogger.

Hope you enjoy and i'd love to hear any thoughts or suggestions anyone has!

Ok Ansel Adams those images are STUNNING. I think you could decorate your whole house with them - really stark and beautiful. Love the bison with snow on his face and head and also some of the landscapes near the beginning with moody clouds

Rob the shots are really fantastic (I want a print - let's do a swap). You really captured the COLD up there. Makes me want to get out and shoot something that isn't man-made. I bet the stories around the campfire while eating bison-burgers must have been epic...

I loved these shots and wish I was there...well maybe not. It was probably very cold!

There was a cool shot that almost looked like a hand and an arm reaching out that I liked a lot and I loved the bearded man that you made into an old looking art piece.

The landscapes were amazing!

Robert!

I love the photos from Yellowstone, the last time I was there it was on fire!! I still see the remnants of that fire in your shots!! They are just beautiful!
