Yellowstone Pools

Very nice, brings back memories. Last time I was there all the cameras used film!

Jennifer, you have some nice compositions, but on my monitor they appear to be a little too dark. That could be my problem. Maybe others will chime in. I see you went up on the hill to shoot Grand Prismatic, but not high enough to get it all. I assume it was at 10mm. Take a look here http://www.pbase.com …/image/14631303​3/original .

Yeah, I have a hard time sometimes with the darkness, I set my Macbook monitor at 2 clicks below full brightness when I edit pictures. I suppose they look different on other peoples monitors. Is there a better way to go about that issue? I would appreciate some input!

I did my best with the grand prismatic. I have messed up knees...so I went about 50 yards up the hill and took the shots there. I was more worried about getting down than going up any higher.

Very nice, I cannot wait until I get back. These shots just make me want it more. Very nice indeed.

I think that is a common problem, at least I have it. My screen brightness varies with the angle , so I never know for sure. If there's a way to make sure it's right for other monitors, I'm not aware of it.

Too bad about your knees. I've had a knee replaced, as well as a hip, so I understand.

Yeah, I posted a thread about it once and expected to get LOTS of replies but I think it just died.

My knees...it's a frustrating issue. I was born with just a slight bit of hip dysplasia. The doctor recommended surgery which would have left me in a huge body cast and then in braces for a while. My parents I guess decided it was not a good idea? By my late teens I had chrondomalasia. Things started getting pretty bad in my 20s.

I had a really good eval at a PT place about how my calves are super strong and my quads are dead and my kneecaps maltrack then I was diagnosed by 2-3 orthos with arthritis...but they just told me to lose weight. A couple years ago while going down steps I got like a knife stab in the back of my left knee and for a few weeks could hardly walk...it would catch and sharp pain and buckle. Had an MRI, doctor said...arthritis lose weight.

I have lost 70 pounds...so I went and tried a new doctor because my hips have been bugging me. He comes back in and tells me he looked at my x rays and that I'm "Fine". No arthritis...my hips are good. They also x rayed my shoulder because of a 10 year old gym injury which has never quite gone away...and recently has been very painful and a clinic doctor told me if I don't get it seen I will get frozen shoulder. He said my shoulder was "perfect".

It is baffling to me. My knees are NOT fine. I am 33 and go down stairs one at a time. I just CAN'T find a good doctor.

I agree...frustrating.

A great set the last couple in my eyes are the best as it shows a wide view and the colour is so precise TFS


cheers

awesome, gotta go there someday

Thanks for the input and compliments. Yellowstone is amazing!
