Behind The Lens

Location

Yellowstone National Park in May 2011.

Time

This was in the mid morning, probably around 10am.

Lighting

It was a very bright day, but also very brisk that kept a slight haze in the air.

Equipment

This was my very first DSLR Camera: Sony A350 Lens: Sony kit 75-300mm

Inspiration

Many of the Bulls were acting out and hoped I could capture them during battle. This was 1 in a series of 2 shots captured.

Editing

Sharpening of the subjects and converted to black & white

In my camera bag

Then: Sony A350 Now: Sony A77 Sony A580 Sigma 150-500mm Sony kit 75-300mm Sony kit 18-55mm

Feedback

If you have never been or it's been a long time.... Go to Yellowstone & Tetons, you won't regret it.
