We have a curve ball for you today. For once the shooting the shooter photograph isn’t of me, it’s of Ann! Join us to check out Ann’s image from our visit to White Pocket in 2019.

This is the follow up to the Photography is Hard post and, as promised, it has a lot more images than that post had. It probably has more words than I thought it would, but that is part of the learning process for me. It was a worthwhile exercise and I hope it’s enjoyable for you as well.

I think I’ve mentioned before that like a lot of photographers, it’s hard for me to pass up a good tree without pulling out the camera. I also must confess that the same is true about rocks. And to be honest, it’s probably harder to pass up a good rock than a good tree. So today’s post comes from a big rock formation we drove past just south of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park.

I have to apologize for today’s blog post. I have a couple of rather lengthy posts in the works, but things have not panned out as planned, so they’re not quite ready yet. Instead, you get some thoughts I had after I’d sent Len an image in one of our photo swaps. I decided to look at a series of images made of essentially the same subject over a 35-minute period in Goblin Valley State park. I made other images in-between these, but I kept turning back to this subject because of the incredible light show it was providing.

Delving into some of my other photographs from West Yellowstone I came across some images from my point-and-shoot taken from one of our initial “scouting” trips and became captivated by them. In some ways, they were much better than many of the images I took earlier that day with my “real camera.” That’s as good a reason as any to develop them a bit further.
