Big O Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 dang!, those are good pics. nice Thanks awsome pics I really would like to see in person one day You should make it happen, so much variety you can be in different worlds in less than an hour drive Those are awesome pics! Thanks for sharing! Thanks Very nice Tim, looks like a good time. Yeah it was a blast. very cool man Gracias Looks like you had a blast! Tou guys took some very nice pictures. I figured you used some L series glass there. I love my 17-40 for landscape shots. Of all my L series glass my favorite overall is my 24-105. Again, VERY nice shots, thanks again I would love to go back sometime and devote a day or two to photography but I don't see that happening, Lil O had a blast though, made it well worth the sacrafice. He actually got some really good shots with his little 1 megapixel FisherPrice camera...I should post them up tooo haha. I think the 24-105 would be an awesome walk around lens, seems to have a good following too. It seemed no matter what lens we took on the hike we always had the wrong one .. too short or too long, oh well ... it made it easy to just sit back and soak it all in and not worry about composition/exposure/etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that kick ass I've never been up there in the winter I bet it is a whole different beast then the summer ... if nothing else it should be less populated, man the tourists were something else this time. That would be a sweet scene, a ton of SS's twisting up a mountain and kicking back at the lake S(summer not winter). Someone make it happen haha Beautiful pictures, Tim. Thanks for sharing!

dcairns Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I think the 24-105 would be an awesome walk around lens, seems to have a good following too. I have the 24-105 on my 5D II, and I am a tad disappointed with the lens. It has have some chromatic aberration, though it is easily corrected with Photoshop. But it does have a nice range of zoom without weighing a ton. look at the finger of rock in the lower center IMG_0661y.jpg full frame picture with reduced resolution to give you an idea how much the above photo was cropped. IMG_0661x.jpg The vignetting seems to be due my stack of filters being too thick (UV filter plus polarizer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Here are a few more, they were pretty far away so the quality isn't quite the best, but good enough for me Ugly ass bighorn sheep A moose chomping on some grass Mr Coyote made eye contact with us but boogie'd out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) I have the 24-105 on my 5D II, and I am a tad disappointed with the lens. It has have some chromatic aberration, though it is easily corrected with Photoshop. But it does have a nice range of zoom without weighing a ton. look at the finger of rock in the lower center IMG_0661y.jpg full frame picture with reduced resolution to give you an idea how much the above photo was cropped. IMG_0661x.jpg The vignetting seems to be due my stack of filters being too thick (UV filter plus polarizer). Sweet setup man, I'm uber jealous. There were more than a handful of situations where I thought the HD video capabilities of the 5dII would come in handy. I see what you mean on CA, but most people wouldn't even notice that I imagine. I wouldn't mind getting into filters and taking landscapes a little more serious, people do some real cool things with a few screw on toys lol Edited August 3, 2009 by big o (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB47 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Some beautiful shots Tim. I'm hoping to go there next summer. Just me and the wife so I can spend some serious lens time. Love the shot of the cottage by the lake and the dead tree in the rocky area. You've really got an eye for composition. I shot a bunch of the old twisted trees on our trip to the Grand Canyon. Thought I was the only one that liked that kind of stuff. LOL Surprised to see Elk in velvet this time of year. The elk at the Canyon didn't even have their horns yet. Of course that was a couple months ago. We should really check and see how many people would be up for a SSS get together in a place like that. I know I'd be there.

Man there is so many options for photography its not even funny, especially if you get into some of the 'twisted tree' type of shots haha. There are so many flowers and rocks and other things that we just blew by. If you have time and patience you will pull off some AMAZING shots in Yellowstone. There were a lot of options I couldn''t pursue due to preg wife and young child that would have made some good prints but in the big picture I would rather expose the boy and go back another day for me. If/when you go I wanna see the pics! I think it would be a blast to have a GTG in a setting like this, you could get some sweet photo ops and have a good time inbetween, fires/drinks/buddies/great atmosphere ... doesn't get much better. where can i order a few copies of those post cards, lol.... cant wait till i get the op to take my girls on a trip like that! once again, those pictures are beautiful! Thanks, make the trip when you can. Well worth the $/time Absolutely stunning photos! Thanks man, it was a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Very cool man, you got blessed with great weather. I wish we got to stay another couple days in the park when my kids and I were there; we only got to see the falls because it was raining. Mr. P.

Yeah the rain came and went while we were there, got below freezing at night also. The weather was all over the place. We were very fortunate to spend a full week up there, we just sat out the weather and were able to find quite a few good days to explore. Nice pics Gracias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
