Just sharing a handful of pics from last weekend's trip through Yellowstone and the Tetons. I spent a lot of time scouting locations, but managed to take advantage of the weather/color with my camera when I could ...

Morning view of the Teton Range, about an hour after sunrise - but still colorful due to fire haze to the east

Great set of images Jesse, I like #3 the best, great colors and composition. #2 is my second favorite.

Love it! I'm heading to the Aspen/Crested Butte area in an hour or so and this is great inspiration!

Shadow Mountain and storm is KILLER, Jesse. All are nice and it looks like you had some fantastic conditions to work with. Let's see more!

Thanks for the inspiration for my upcoming trip! You got some great conditions and took advantage of them splendidly. From the looks of it, I shouldn't bother going up to Shadow Mountain by the time I get there (the 30th). Looks like that storm stripped those trees pretty good! Love that shot.

Nice eye candy! "Shadow Mtn and storm" is the standout shot for me.

Thanks for posting these. #3 and #7 are my favorites too.

Love the blue-gray/yellow/orage contrast on Pacific Creek Aspens.
Posted by Morris McClung on September 24, 2009 at 6:27 PM
All are excellent as usual, but being the color freak I am, it's #2 and #3 for me. Shadow Mtn. and storm is STRONG.

I especially like 'Pacific Creek Aspens' for the composition and the floor of sagebrush, something we surely don't see around these parts in aspen groves. Their color complements the vivid colors of the aspens very nicely.

Nice, well rounded collection. I'm diggin' "Pacific Creek Aspens" and "Bison in Antelope Flat". I hope the antelope didn't mind. Hopefully there will still be some color up there at the end of next week for my loosely planned get away.

Guy, definitely drive up Shadow Mountain. Those tall trees are actually always bare ... there's a number of those skeletons up there. You can bet I'll be up there again next week. Hope to run into all of you out there! Thanks for commenting fellas.

Great stuff, Jesse! I really like that last one--it has your distinct style. I'm planning on being up there next month, to get some snow before the roads close.

These are all beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Nice collection of images. I've always been drawn to the vivid colors in YNP especially along the rivers. I like the composition of Pacific Creek and Antelope flats especially the band of light that is on the Buffalo.

Normal ho-hum from you again I can see. Great job!

Great stuff, Jesse. Work has killed any chance of a Teton trip for me this year, so your images will be my fix. Out of all these shots, Pacific Creek Aspen just sings "Tetons" for me.
