Nubbins II | Yellowstone Hot Spring

4/08/2022 Nubbins II | Yellowstone Hot Spring

Nubbins II | Yellowstone Hot Spring   Looks inviting doesn’t it.  Looks can be deceiving.  With temperatures around 200ºF and sometimes even exceeding the boiling point, one swim and you are done; forever.    Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Hyalite Canyon Stream

11/27/2021 Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Hyalite Canyon Stream

Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Hyalite Canyon Stream   Hyalite Canyon lies just south of BozeMan, MT and it never disappoints the photographer.  No matter what time of year I have visited; there have always been nice photo opportunities.  It just keeps drawing you back.  It provides the photog with so many different challenges to make great images.

The Back Story   A short hike took me down to the stream and through some heavy underbrush.  Then, I setup the tripod with camera attached low to the rocks in the stream.  Then, after kneeling on the wet rocks and focusing manually, it was a simple click; well maybe, not so simple.  I slowed down the shutter just enough to get blur showing the water movement.  The PC-E lens also helps to put the entire stream in focus.  Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Montana Hay

11/26/2021 Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Montana Hay

Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Montana Hay   The Montana countryside is clear and filled with contrasts.  With hay stacked sky-high, the Bridger Mountains stand many miles in the background.  For more images, see America the Beautiful | a 7 Image Story.

The Back Story   Montana’s big sky warrants a little bigger, wider than 2×3 scale.  The haystack is big.  The mountains are big.  And, of course, the sky and clouds are big.    Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
