Here's my (probably last) installment of photos from Montana.
From Saturday, when it was cold and snowing and freezing and I lost a good chunk of my shots due to setting my files to jpg for a speed pano and then forgetting to switch it back to raw.
Another TS pano from Two Medicine waterfall, starring shizzy. Of course, I'm not pointed at the waterfall here, since everyone else was.
One of the few river rocks shots that wasn't too marred by melting snowflakes on my lens:
That water is really cold.
Gotta remember to pay attention to the little guys:
There were many stops to photograph the aspen leaves. The colors were marvelous and changing so fast you can practically sit there and watch them blush.
Fountain of Youth
You'd never guess that this little spot was literally covered in shredded cardboard and Coors Light cans. A bit of a local hangout, I guess.
The road back to St Marys - blissfully clean of hit-and-run victims.
All in all I learned three very important things this year:
The landscape as a subject is intimidating because you are limited in what you can do to manipulate it as a photographer. You cannot change the shape of it, or the weather, or the light.
Montana has surprising good classical radio stations.

Bendr is a wonderful pianist.
Schmoo,
That is why the art of landscape photography is in the discovery of little bits of clarity amongst all the chaos.
I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

wow!
I haven't posted in a while, but decided to check in and was blown away by your shots. What an excellent collection! I have to agree with other posters that you have a good eye for great shots. You should be very proud of these
Great shots. I especially like the close of the falls and chasing the stars. Excellent work.

Okay, now, I know you rock in your realm of abandoned places and objects, but to find you seriously rock at landscapes, too, is a wonderful surprise. You have a fantastic eye, and I love seeing the world through it.
Bone Dry and Look Up had the greatest impact on me, and your panos are beautimous. Keep it up, chica.
Interesting that you felt you didn't find your stride or hit the zone until Friday. I don't think I ever found the zone once we were in Glacier - not sure if it was a week of shooting before, or just the fact that the trip became so social for me.
In any case Stephanie, lovely work. Keep turning that camera the opposite direction, as you see in a wonderful, unique way.
Schmoo! I missed the updates on this post somehow. I'm so glad this thread came back up to the top. You've some more amazing shots and if I had to pick two favorites they'd be
and the River Rocks T/S with it's gorgeous colors and wonderfully blurred water.
I'm a little worried about next year's shootout, this time I could cheat and revert to wildlife photography whenever the landscape stuff wasn't working out for me. I have a feeling we're going to be lacking in wildlife in the desert.
Again though, fanstasic job and now that I've seen these I want to find time to go through more of mine. Thank you for the unwitting encouragement.:D
Thanks Michael and Christina. Hey don't worry too much about missing the wildlife - on the Wild Utah workshop there were plenty of lizards and creatures to be found. Although I know a lot of them stay asleep during the day I'm pretty sure with a little know-how you can find them.

I feel like what you are saying is just the tip of a huge iceberg. But I'm going to try to see how far I can get.

as well as you.
Sure you can! A little birdie told me you had made corrections to stuff that I had done.

I love all your shots but these simple ones . . . ooooh. . . . aaahh. . . nice!
