Terrace Sunrise

This is one of my favorite sunrise locations. There has never been another person, other than my daughter, sharing the moment. Easy to get to, each morning is unique.

Clouds over Mammoth Terrace

I am having a hard time moving beyond Mammoth with my images taken while visiting Yellowstone last week. There is so much to see and explore without leaving "civilization". The terraces have an even more mystical quality in low light with the subtle colors of the sky changing their colors.

Mammoth Terrace Sunrise

On some days you get to see the sun once. There were two cloud levels and we actually saw each layer light up so you could say we saw two sunrises on this day which was mostly overcast after this brief burst of color. What a treat!

Mammoth Hot Springs at Night

The springs have an other worldly character during the day that is even more pronounced at night. The lights from Mammoth shine on parts of the terrace giving it a warm glow. Light was painted in areas that were dark giving this almost rainbow effect with the different light sources. Auto WB was used in Lightroom to balance the mixed lighting.
