I gave my first (of two) presentation last night. About 80 people attended and it seemed to go well. Yesterday I really got out to shoot a lot more. The haze from forest fires is noticable, and nothing at a great distance (like mountain peaks) seems really sharp. Not much I can do about it. For the project to compare scenes photographed in the 1920’s, about the time of the Park’s dedication in 1915 to the same scene today, I finally managed to locate two. The historic images often aren’t well documented, but with some local help, I matched up to two USGS images. Will post more images after they are reviewed and documented.
Experienced my first “Elk Jam” today — When an elk herd grazes by the road, everyone stops for a peek and a photo until the road backs up. Just like rubber-necking at home. More pictures on Sunday.
