Now for a couple in black and white. I’ve got just one more roll of film to develop from my trip. I’m only about halfway through posting my favourite images but on the whole, am v pleased. In fact, will go so far to say that I think this series (when it’s finalised) will be up there with my best. At least that’s how it feels right now when I look at it so hopefully it’s not just the novelty.
Fuji Neopan 100 Acros
A little outside Yellowstone National Park, saw a row of feeding cows that stretched as far as the eye could see. I’m vegetarian btw.
Tri X 320 in DDX
Fujichrome Velvia 50
One of my favourite pictures of the trip. This is a pronghorn antelope. You usually can’t within 50 yards of them but for some reason, this fella was fine with me being there… They’re the second fast land animals in the world (60mph), having evolved to outrun the now extinct N.American cheetah. They’re running prowess now vastly outstrips anything left on this continent. Anyway, wonderful animals and I felt lucky to see one up close like this.
Kodak TriX 320 in D76
Made the obligatory journey over to Old Faithful – the most famous geyser in Yellowstone… It jettisoned about 10 minutes behind schedule, although I was amazed that any kind of predictability is possible with geothermal phenomenons… Here’s a couple of shots from the 1 – 2 min event.
TriX P 320 developed in D76
Unforgettable sunrise at one of the higher parts of Yellowstone. During the winter, is only reachable by snow rigged vehicles (which we hired for a day with a guide).
Fuji Velvia 50
Another shot of a Bison… This may end up being on of my favourites from the trip
Pentax 67ii + Pentax 165mm f/2.8 on Fujifilm Pro 160c (converted to BW in post)
Two shots… one a close up of a Bison, the other the trail left by a small herd. These trails, caused by the animals as they move through the snow, decorate the entire Yellowstone landscape.
