Colors

by Philippe Sainte-Laudy

One of the most extraordinary places in the world in the magnificent Yellowstone park.
Equipment: Nikon D300 with 18/200mm
Philippe Sainte-Laudy
The beauty of nature is all around us at all times, but there are brief moments when a combination of elements present themselves in a truly spectacular way. Anybody who is fortunate enough to witnesses one of these events will look back fondly upon the memory. And they are even more fortunate if they happen to have a camera ready to record the event. In order to be in the right place at the right time, it is necessary to understand the complex interactions between light, weather, landscape, the tides, plants, and animals. And it is important to have a deep respect for this planet and its inhabitants. I hope that photography can bring people closer to nature and encourage them to preserve it for future generations.

“I hope that photography can bring people closer to nature and encourage them to preserve it for future generations.”

Looks amazing. What a great photograph. Are those colours really true? If I was looking at that I would think it had been oversaturated slightly but clearly it is just an amazing place. Well done.

Although I’ve not visited Yellowstone yet, when I finally get there it will be like going home, thanks to wonderful photos like yours. This tree-hugging environmentalist thanks you for your comments. You’re right about having to be ready to shoot at all times–I always see the most fantastic things when I’ve left my camera at home! I visited your site and hope to see much more of your work–thanks for sharing.

May I add; “In order to be at the right place at the right time it is necessary to” have a good quality compact camera with oneself at all times.

“Elementary” says Holmes! “All rigt then” replied Dr.Watson.”

What a great shot, You said it Marie, it’s like Picasso’s palette ready to go on duty.

Way to go! Philippe.

Philippe, this is SPECTACULAR! AND, I MIRROR your words and thoughts. Let us preserve what we can prior to losing it all, as we wait on the precipice of our demise, I fear. GREAT job!
