This was shot in Yellowstone a few weeks ago at Mammoth Hot Springs. The light co operated to make this work for me. Best of all the park was practically empty, but cold.

I could stare at that all day. "Surreal" is a good word for it. Nice!

Surreal was definitely the right choice of word! Fantastic shot.
PS: how does your 28-70 perform on the D700. I got one for my D200 in view of getting a full frame camera later on and was wondering how it holds up.

Younes,
The 28-70 is a great & very sharp lens. The new 24-70 however would make more sense for those who either can afford to sell the 28-70 ( or need to--I don't) our those who don't already own either one. The new 24-70 is supposed to be a tad sharper. The real advantage is it is considerably lighter than the 28-70. For me though I'm very pleased with the 28-70. Yes its heavy, but I can't rationalize the extra $$ right now.

Real nice and moody shot Jack. It has an eerie feel to it. BTW, I love my 28-70 also. It's a real tank but boy is it sharp. I use it for about 80% of my shooting.
Jack! What a wonderful shot. The atmosphere really gave you a fantastic look with which to create an ethereal mood. It's transfixing-- could just watch it all day, as if I expect the clouds to lift and drop and float around. Very cool. Glad you put up on the board to share with us.
