Hiking in the Badlands

After having hiked from the floor of the plains up to the highest peak, we stopped part way down for this photo.

Get Away From it All - Leinster Bay - St. John - US Virgin Islands - USVI

Via Flickr:
What a beautiful location it was to go hiking. No one else was in sight, the balmy moist ocean air had the tropical scent to it. As this panorama shows, it was paradise. I made this panorama when Doug, Terri, Becky and I went hiking. This was our 15 year anniversary trip together. When do we get to go back?

Road Through the Trees in Yellowstone

Via Flickr:
This is the south entrance road for Yellowstone National Park. As we drove south, exiting the park, we came to this iconic view. Miles of road, stretching through the pines, with the begining of the Grand Teton Mountain range in the distance. It was late afternoon and was very challenging lighting conditions. I captured the view with a series of 3 images combined by HDR technique.

Imagine the setting: I keep dashing out into the road, trying to level my tripod and camera and get the exposure correct. Whoops, not fast enough, cars coming behind me, pick up and dash out. After about 15 minutes, I had enough time to make this photo.

Rushing Stream on the Beartooth Highway

Via Flickr:
We descended out of the mountains and on the way down, I stopped at this waterfall with a rushing stream leading away.
