We left Mammoth Hot Springs and headed to Old Faithful for a few days. Along the way we stopped to photograph coyotes. They overcast sky made a giant softbox brining out the detail int their fur…

Since we were in Hayden Valley, we headed to Arden’s snow camp for a lunch of soup and sandwiches.

A trip to the Canyon area is not complete without a visit to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone to photograph Lower Yellowstone Falls…

I love seeing the falls in winter with the ice cone building at the base. Once again, the soft, overcast light made for great shooting. Overcast light can be a good friend. I love photographing mammals, water, flowers…many subjects in the overcast light using the sky as a giant softbox to diffuse the light. The key is to avoid getting the sky in the frame.
