Yellowstone Meadow

My trip to Yellowstone did not yield a large number of images due to inclement weather, which is to be expected in the fall, but I did manage to obtain a few that I liked. This time of year can yield beautiful scenes. The skies are what make this area such a rich area for landscapes. I did find that when the sun was out, the result was very high contrast light, and it was sometimes difficult to get a decent exposure, without blowing the highlights. At one point I was mistakenly shooting in jpeg format, and the result was disastrous. My highlights could not be recovered from the jpegs. In contrast, my raw files, while having high contrast, were able to be recovered in my raw converter. Never shoot raw! This image, thankfully, was shot in raw mode.
