birdshooter > Remember the tip about light; the best light is often before sunrise.  Take a look at "Elk in the Mist" taken at Yellowstone National Park in September of 2001 along the Madison River.  It was cold and I was the only photographer out there that morning.  The bull elk above was trying to keep his cows together on the river bank.  The mist from the river and the predawn light makes the photograph. Get up early and get out there.
birdshooter > This photograph was taken in Yellowstone National Park on the Firehole River using a Nikon F100, Fuji Velvia slide film.  The exposure was f/16 @ 1/15th sec.  It has all the qualities of a great photograph; soft light at dusk, clouds to difuse the sunlight, water, and there is some action with the fly fisherman.  I actually waited until he got into the frame before taking the photo. You can see the foreground, middleground and background are all in focus.  The subject (fly fisherman) is in the right third lower corner and not in the middle of the frame.

By the way, this photo hangs in St Lukes Episcopal Hospital gallery of "best of show" winners.  It also won me $250 prize.
birdshooter > It's sundown on the Firehole River, and there is just enought light for one more cast.  You look around at what God has created; the landscape, the animals, sunsets and sunrises and wonder how anyone cannot believe?
birdshooter > September Morning  Madison River, Yellowstone National Park

This photograph was originally a slide taken with a Nikon F100 and Nikkor 400mm f3.5 lens.  The usually crowded Yellowstone National Park was desolate at 5:30 in the morning.  Some of the best light of the day is before the sun comes up when the mist is rising from the warmer water of the river into the cold air and you have the whole park to yourself.
