Photographer's Haven--Firehole Falls (1/9/2015)

There was a lot to learn about a special technique for photographing waterfalls. It involved the largest F-Stop possible (smallest aperture), plus a low ISO and a long shutter opening...or some such combination like that. The light and shadows kept changing which made it all very interesting. I was too busy just soaking it all in.  Turns out, there was some good people watching at this location as well. At least 5 other tour groups in bombs stopped by and probably 5 or 6 snowmobile caravans. Somehow, they all managed to get out, get the shot, and get going again. But we stayed and learned and enjoyed.





Some photographers will go to great lengths (or in this case, great depths) to get just the right photo.

We got our photography teacher to take our photo. :-)
Note that I'm wearing a headband/ear warmers and a hoodie and my new extra warm coat with a hood. Layers will save you when the day starts at 8 below.
