Lone Wild Horse at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D200 camera and 18-70 mm kit lens (ISO 100, 18 mm, f/5.6, 1/400 sec).
Early Morning Silhouette of a Bighorn Ram in Midair. Missouri river overlook in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D700 camera and 80-400 mm VR lens (ISO 220, 400 mm, f/11, 1/1600 sec).
I was focused on shooting the sunrise over the Missouri river. Thanks to Winston Hall, a former photography mentor who taught me to always look behind because there may be a better picture. The Bighorn left as soon as it realized I was there.
Sunrise over the fog covered Missouri River at an overlook in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D300 camera and 18-200 mm VR lens (ISO 200, 60 mm, f/22, 1/100 sec).
I didn’t sleep well thinking about the Bison wandering around the campsite. I got up early to a thick fog. I drove slowly up to a higher overlook for sunrise, and was rewarded to an amazing sunrise. When I turned around there was an even better picture –for another post.
Painted Canyon Panorama. Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D3 and 85 mm f/2.8 PC-E lens. Composite of 9 images using AutoPano Giga. With and without using the Kolor neutralhazer filter. I know that there are several dehaze filters now available (DxO, Photoshop, Lightroom). This was one of the first going back at least four years. The individual images going into the panorama are included below.

Jousting Bison in the Campground at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I was glad that I was sleeping in my RV, and not in a tent like the folks across from my campsite. Image taken with a Nikon D300 camera and 18-200 mm lens (ISO 900, 105 mm, f/5.3, 1/60 sec).
