Been out here about a week now, and it's been awesome! I don't have the time or the screen for a full post-processing job, but here are a taste of the photos I've been able to get:

More when I get back!

My wife and I spent our 25th anniversary in Yellowstone in the fall, late Sept-early Oct. The Park came alive with the first snowfall...

I would also like to visit in the spring...

Nice pics and thanks for the post...

Great photos.

Last time I was there (1980) I don't think they had much for wolves yet.

All the pictures were taken with either a Canon 1D MKIII or a 40D, and a 100-400 f4.5-5.6L IS lens or a 500mm f4L IS lens usually with a 1.4X or 2X teleconverter.

Heh...my ass is soaking in the seat of my rental car. I flew into Jackson Hole, which is only like 50 miles from the park's south entrance, and Yellowstone only has 312 miles of roads total. I haven't gone further away than Gardiner, MT, which is 5 miles from where I am staying at Mammoth Hot Springs, yet I have put over 1500 miles on the rental so far...

I'll bet you took nearly all those pics in the Lamar Valley, right?

Actually no...they were taken all over the park. A few of the wolf pics were in Lamar, that's about it.

One more wolf pic...

What camera/lense setup are you running? Great pics! thanks for sharing.

Awesome pictures. I love bears. Thanks.

Posted: 5/24/2009 11:17:09 AM EDT

[#45]

Damn those are awesome photos. I have always wanted to go. But never have. 24hour drive from where I'm at. What kind of camera did you use to take those pictures?

Posted: 5/24/2009 11:34:42 AM EDT

Beautiful pics!!

Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful

What magnification/lens?

ETA: Never mind. I see the answer.

Yellowstone is unbelievable for viewing wildlife. It took us a while to see a wolf, but we finally did.

This is a great time of year to be there, before the real summer crowds descend.

Posted: 5/24/2009 12:25:36 PM EDT

[#49]

I was just there on the 15th.

Damn traffic jam made me have to backtrack from exiting the north entrance, went out the west and got a chance to see Hegben Lake "Earthquake Lake".

Damn it was windy while I was there.

Posted: 5/24/2009 12:28:44 PM EDT

Nice pictures. I love that place in the summer time.

I was there 20 years ago, if you go there after Labor Day, the crowds thin out to almost nothing.
