I finally had the opportunity to get out and shoot on Saturday. A group of us locals (Idaho Falls ID) chartered a snowcoach to take us through Yellowstone. It snowed most of the time with lots of bland cloud cover, but here are a few images from the trip.

Frozen Waterfalls. . .

and some ice formations.
My friend and I were talking about lenses during this trip and we were wondering if anyone out there is using the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS lens with a 2X on a regular basis, and what the results are. Thanks.

Man those are some sweet shots. Is #3 lower yellowstone falls? If so, that looks wild in the winter.

Nice! I really like that bison portrait with the blowing snow; it provides some energy to what is normally a static shot. All are really nice!

Those falls in the winter are quite a sight!
On our trip we enjoyed watching otters playing on the river below.
Redarding the 2x TC. I don't know of anyone regularly using the 2x on any of the zooms. Heck, I only use it as a last resort on the primes. There is a noticeable decrease in image quality over the 1.4x, so it's more of a "last resort" for me.

Thanks for the post, Rodney! That bison shot is killer!

All are nice, but the bison image is my favorite.

Great shots! Love the bison and the frozen waterfall.
