2011 Yellowstone Winter

Started out in Bozeman, stayed a first night in Mammoth Hot Springs, stayed several days around Old Faithful, and then back to the Mammoth Hot Springs area for the Wolf Discovery tour.

Not too bad for sunny snow and detail in the shadows. I chose to lose the detail in the snow rather than the waterfall itself. I like how the bright snow has brightened the far side of the canyon. This would be a lot darker otherwise. I did do a few HDR shots, but I have better ones later in the trip when I'm in this area again. - February 02, 2011 - 1/320 sec at f / 13 - 12 mm - ISO 200 - 44°39'13" N 110°46'17" W
