This was also taken in Yellowstone National Park. I had to be fast so I never had time to adjust my settings on this one.I really like how the bear is looking straight at me. The picture was a little too dark so I had to brighten it and I also lightened up his face to see it more clearly.

Yellowstone National Park, sunset .I'm not too happy with this picture, it turned out really dark so I had to brighten it as much as I could almost, but I like that it looks almost mystical.

This image was taken in Yellowstone National Park. I used someone else's lens, and I can't remember what type it was, but it gave me a wider angle than my 200mm lens so I could capture the whole scene and not just the mountain.

F-stop: 3.5, Exposure time: 1/125, Focal length: 9

This picture I took in Sandpoint, Idaho in September. It was taken with my little point and shoot which is a Canon IXUS. A really good camera, I'm surprised how nice this picture came out.

In this picture I used Dave's 700mm lens I believe, becaue my 200mm was not enough for this picture. I like how clear the eagle is and how pretty it is. I boosted the contrast and brightened up this picture a little.

This was a really hard picture to take. I don't have a tripod so I was leaning on the railing outside of Jorgenen hall. I tried many times and finally I got a picture where the moon didn't end up as a big white, bright spot.
