I've only made like seven trips to YNP this year, but thats what a month in the Southwest, a month in Africa and a month in Italy will do to you.
This past weekend I took students from some of my RMC photography courses to Yellowstone. November is often a slow time in Yellowstone, but we managed wolves, elk, bison, coyotes, and some beautiful scenery. When you are teaching 18 college students, your photography has to go on the back burner, a bit, but I still managed a shot or two.

Make the jump to go through the online gallery, I ask that you leave comments/criticism or at least give your favorites a thumbs up... THANKS!
If you have questions, ask... I published the camera information with each image and have added full keywords to share just about anything you would want to know about the images.
Happy shooting
