Howdee all,
September 13th, Jeff, Sicksta Charlene, her husband Tom and I went for a drive in the Tetons.
First stop a small pond. Lots of swallows flying around the pond and stopping to rest on the log fence.
Grasses and ducks …behind the log fence..
The day began clear with a thin blankets of clouds…
and patches of blue sky
in this photo below you can see that the clouds are thicker above us. A common bird in the area.
Magpie As we drove the Tetons came into view
so majestic..Check out this interesting cloud layer..Does the Top of this Teton help make this cloud angle? …
We stopped at the new visitor centre..Very nice designFrom inside ..large windows give you the large Teton views And a very nice interpretive center and gift shop inside
From the outside of the visitor Center…i get carried awayAgain…
I seem to do that allot…too many photos..I then change to wide angle shots
This one below I feature the sky
And then closer wide angle shots..
I switch to 4.3 aspect Ratio…and zoom in.. Back to the wide angle…another close up..
A different angle…trying to capture the light hitting the mountains…And then I zoom in to try and capture the light shining on the snow … As we leave….I take one last shot from the visitor center…with Trees in the foreground. We continue our drive…the cloud blanket becomes thicker…..
The blanket of clouds thicken even more and starts to cover the remaining blue….. Leaving a think Blanket of white above the mountains… When I see this photo below..
i think it looks like a poster backdrop in front of the cars Views of the Tetons from Jenny Lake Ok…so which Teton photo Do you like?…
Some are so very similar…like these two..one with more clouds (above) the other(below) with more trees..
I probably should have tried this particular shot in 4.3, just to see how it would like with allot more sky.
Some of these photos are very similar…yet different..Do you like wide angle shots…or the 4.3 ratio? Do you like more sky or more foreground?
I tend to favor sky…..but still playing around with this new point and shoot…
……………………………………..
I am at the coast in Florence, Oregon, taking care of a friends home. Jeff went back to Junction City where Homey is and will oversee the tile work.,,and other renovations.
I can wait to see the final product!
I now have internet after several days here on the coast with pretty much non existent internet..So see you soon on facebook and twitter!!!!!!
Nice post on the the Tetons, it is one of my favorite places too. The visitors center is gorgeous but not as gorgeous as those mountains.
ReplyDelete...just another AMAZING place to visit, and it's all in a days work for you! I would crazy shooting these beautiful landscapes too... (it does look like a backdrop--so perfect it can't be real sort of thing!)
ReplyDeleteI like the eBird listing you've got at the bottom. I just checked Ohio and there's a Bell's Vireo about an hour from my home. I wish I could get over to see it. Possibly tomorrow morning...
I would be just like you, I don't when to stop snapping. And then I cannot pick my favorite. They are all great photos.
ReplyDeleteOH Dawn, WOW WOW WOW. I can't choose a favorite Teton photo. They just kept getting better!!!
ReplyDeleteYou and I are alike. Carried away, yes, carried away with that camera.
How many times have I said how fortunate you are to visit so many lovely places?
Would love to see a Magpie one day. Very cool bird.
Mary
More wonderful pictures Dawn, I felt like I was there.
ReplyDeleteI've been really enjoying your Teton series. It looks like such a beautiful park!
ReplyDeleteI think I like the sixth one down the best. Equal amounts of foreground, mountain, sky... so beautiful Dawn!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photographs once again. You're so lucky to have such good weather. Send us some of the sunshine to the NC Outer Banks where it has rained since we arrived.
ReplyDeleteThat visitor center is beautiful, but it doesn't look bird friendly with all that reflective glass.
All I can see is that the PBS program on the National Parks has gotten me needing to go visit them. The scenery is just awe inspiring and I am enjoying all your photos.. Michelle
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of Jenny Lake and the Teton. You can't tell I like lakes can ya. I couldn't pick out which picture I liked best. They are all great in their different ways. What kind of new point and shoot camera did you get?
ReplyDeleteGoodness; I would not mind having a taste of this kinda life. Thanks for sharing it with us--I will think of those Tetons tomorrow while in my windowless office!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the spectacular Teton introduction! I've never been and really ashamed to say this is the first time I have come across it.
ReplyDeleteThe colors, the landscapes, and your photo tours have made me add it to my list of places to visit.
Which camera are you using? The wide angle closeups are wonderful, but then I don't think you could take a bad shot even with the lens cap on.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the temps there?
Who has Ballie?
Love the architecture of that visitor's center. I can't pick a favorite photo, but you can never get a bad shot of the Tetons!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos Nob. Did you use the point in shoot for all of them or just the ones at the end? What setting do you have it on? I am not sure what the best overall setting is so I keep changing it.

ReplyDeleteYou are right, man made beauty cant compete with natural beauty
Kelly

Leedra
