Will You be Mine

I was driving south in Yellowstone national park, cause I wanted to get some nice sunset photos at the Grand Prismatic Spring, but I soon found out that I was running late, and the sun was gonna be gone before I would even get close to where I wanted to be, but that’s the great thing about Yellowstone, there are – almost –  no dull places to make photos. So as I was driving along I spotted this nice view from the side of the road, and pulled over, got my gear from the back of the car, and walk a few meters in to the forest, and this is what I got.

It’s a HDR made out of 5 RAW exposures, as usual I ran it through PhotoMatrix and cleaned it up for ghost and the likes in Photoshop, and for the final look I used Color Efx Pro from Nik Software.

West Thumb Basin Sunrise

On My 6 weeks road trip around the states last year, one of the most spectacular places I saw was Yellowstone.
Before I arrived there, I meet these two guys Charlie and Rocky, somewhere north of Phoenix, Charlie who had traveled a lot in and around Yellowstone, Told me that I had to enter the park from the north by a road called Beartooth highway, cause that was the most beautiful way of entering Yellowstone. I told him I would consider it, I was coming from the south, so to enter from the north I had to drive all the way around it, through Wyoming and in to Montana and then get on Beartooth highway to enter the park.
But on My way up states, I thought well what the heck, let’s give it a shoot, and I must say Charlie was right, it is one of the most beautiful strips of road I every driven.

And I can only recommend that if you are heading to Yellowstone, take the Beartooth highway in there.

Here’s a shoot of one of the many great views on Beartooth highway – Beartooth Highway View

My Ansel Adams Tribute

My Ansel Adams Tribute

It wasn’t that long ago – about a year I think - that I heard about Ansel Adams for the first time and saw some of his photos.
I soon learned that there was a Adams exhibition in Gl. Holtegaard, a gallery in north Zealand not that far from where I live, so I went – of course – and I was blown away by most of his photos, it was a small exhibition, I think there was around 30-40 photos.

Well anyway this is My tribute to the late great photographer Ansel Adams – read more about him here.

Well, it’s all Lightroom once again that I used for post processing the photo. Converted it from color to black and white, added a lot of contrast the Ansel way, that’s it.
