I shot this photo from my seat in the east upper deck at Bryant-Denny stadium in Tuscaloosa. (A special word of thanks to fellow Crimson Tide fan Brit Lovvorn for inviting me to the game. I had a blast!) The Tide's opponent that November night was LSU. This is a stitch job from 9 original photos. I'm also a big fan of the stitched panorama.

Yellowstone Sunset, Madison Canyon
So I've FINALLY gotten around to editing a few more of my photos from our 2009 trip to Wyoming. I'm still amazed that 21 years after the infamous fires of 1988, there are still MILLIONS of dead trees, or snags, still standing throughout Yellowstone. I used my telephoto lens to carve out a section of them contrasted against the fading light of sunset near the western end of the Madison River canyon. Notice the use of the bottom right corner, as mentioned in the White Dome post below.
White Dome In Eruption (vertical)
This is one of my favorite thermal features in Yellowstone. It's not overly huge and the eruptions don't go so high. But you can catch an eruption at nearly any time of day and they always look good. I was practically standing in the road as I made this exposure in September 2009. I guess my favorite thing about this photo is the little runoff stream that meanders down from the geyser cone, to the bottom right corner of the image. I'm a big believer in using the corners of the frame when doing landscape photography. You don't force it, obviously, but if it works within the composition, I think it adds a strong, dynamic force to the image.
