Here are two pictures.

Critique

Bighorn National Recreation Area

Last week I interviewed at an accounting firm in Casper, Wyoming. On my drive back up I took the indirect route and traveled through Lovell, WY and the Bighorn National Recreation Area.

It was stunning! Coming over the pass I hit my first snow of the year and was able to take some pictures of what I saw.


For this first picture, I focused on the bush in front of the deer. I think it created a sense of stillness, especially in black and white.

I do not know what makes the ground black (maybe coal?), but I really like this picture.

The Hunt for Green October

I have been attempting to take Northern Light pictures for a couple of weeks now. I have found myself near Molt, MT three times now. The first time I was able to see some green int the sky, but not to the extent that I thought I would. It was my first time seeing aurora so I was excited nonetheless.

The next two time I have been unsuccessful spotting any lights, but I am not giving up. I have been planning out the perfect shooting criteria and am prepared to hop in the truck and go!

Here is a link to a website that has so suggestions for photographing the northern lights: Click Here
