Perfect white balance ALL of the time?


I use to think that perfect white balance was the way of the "pros" and that I needed expensive equipment or hassle with grey cards to achieve such great quality.  Oh, how I have been wrong.  My friend, Ken Ockler, let me borrow this spiffy device called the Expo Disc when I travelled to Yellowstone.  He instructed me as to how to use it and told me it would make a HUGE difference to my results.  At first I was a bit skeptical but I tried it anyway.  This little disk was a god send!!!  It works miracles with your image results!  Sadly I had to return it to him, but this shall be my next photography purchase, and should be anyone else's as well if you don't already have it!  I cannot rant and rave enough about this plastic miracle disc.  Check them out!  They are also fairly inexpensive.

Eagles in Yellowstone



So, I have more from our Yellowstone trip.  My climbing trips have gotten cancelled due to work and weather.  Summer has finally hit in Idaho and I should be out shooting soon!

Yellowstone's Final Installment.


Old Faithful Lodge

Afro Bison!  Nice bed-head.



It is unlawful to leave the path.

Fumerols creating steam that froze and created this awesome snow drift.


Reflection of clouds near Grand Prismatic Spring

Grand Prismatic bacterial mats with litter from a visitor.  Can you find the debris?

Random couple..... good shot.



This post had a lot of photos.  There are a lot that were good to share.  This was a well needed trip with family and was a wonderful time had by all.  Everyone's favorite memory was by far Castle Geyser.  My most fond memory was the Grizzly Bear.  All of my childhood I have wanted to see a bear in Yellowstone, and finally I was able!  Thank you to Ken Ockler for loaning me all of his camera gear.  Thank you to my loving wife for being such a trooper and supporting me in my passion for photography.  I hope you all enjoy the photos from this trip.  Keep watching because there are more trips yet to come!
