Gone to See America 2007 Road Trip. Nikonians ANPAT 7 Day 3: Yellowstone National Park.
Elk and Bison. This was my first experience with a Nikonian ANPAT trip. I found out about Nikonians online after I got my first Nikon D200 camera while looking for information how take better pictures. It should be noted that they are not funded by Nikon, but rather is an organization of Nikon camera enthusiasts. Even though ANPAT trips are often sold out within days of being announced, there was a late cancelation in 2007 and I was able to sign up at the last minute. At the time I was working part time in Boulder, Colorado. It was an easy drive to Jackson, Wyoming to meet up with the group. This was not a workshop, but rather a get together of Nikon camera enthusiasts interested in travel, wildlife, and landscape photography. I learned a lot during the trip, met some great people, and it really became the turning point for deciding to learn more and become a better photographer. Subsequently, I’ve attended several photography workshops and ANPAT trips.
It has been a few days since I have posted anything. I’ve been very busy at work since getting back from San Francisco, it has also been raining for the last several days and predicted to rain for the next several days (more local flooding) and not many opportunities for new images other than some mushrooms :-). We also have also moved the site for this photoblog to a new server (Thanks Hans). Regarding the move, let me know if you have any issues accessing the site and images.
Does that elk have gas, or am I just seeing low clouds? It’s good that you didn’t use smell-o-vision 🙂

Global warming due to methane emissions from ruminants 🙂
It is actually a steam vent in Yosemite. Just had to get it lined up right.

of course you did…
So beyond the bad gas, does the elk have something in its mouth or is that in the background? On my frist glance I thought it was eating a bird.
