Utah Big Horn Sheep / Rams

Went on a quick nearby hike with my wife and literally ran into these guys. I couldn't take my camera out fast enough to get a good shot, this is what I ended up with.

Bull Elk(s)...?

Got very close to these giants, it was amazing to see them so close.

Some shots of Fall and winter from the last few weeks.

Yosemite Parte Dois

Decided to post some additional photos of Yosemite that were taken this summer. I corrected some color etc on most of them, I need a Polarizing filter bad, would help a lot in the sun. This was a family trip so there weren't as many early/late day shooting opportunities. I can always go back though. The photo of the Jeffery Pine (dead tree on its side) was added earlier, but I like this version better. As previously mentioned Ansel Adams made the tree famous when it was alive, but was first photographed by Carleton Watkins back in 1867. Ansel Adams gallery

Yosemite

Took a ton of photos while on our trip to Yosemite, some that I am pretty pleased with. The pictures below is not what I wanted, there were kids walking all over the shot and made it difficult to shoot, but I did what I could. The shots are at the top of Sentinel Dome looking away from the main Yosemite valley, (south east perhaps?) The tree is the famous Jeffery Pine that Ansel Adams made famous but was first photographed by Carleton Watkins back in 1867.

San Clemente Pier @ Night

Playing around with some night shots. I didn't have a tripod so I had to rest my camera on a picnic table and set the self timer to eliminate camera shake.
