Firehole Falls (Yellowstone)

Yellowstone has a lot of waterfalls, and some are spectacular (more in a later post). Here's one called Firehole Falls, on the Firehole River. The first shot is a short exposure, and the second is a long exposure on a tripod to get the curtain effect. I think they make for very different moods in the photos.

    One thing is for sure, you have a good camera and know hot to use it. These are stunning sights. A job well done. Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by my place. The picture you referred to on my post today is from Caddo Lake in East Texas.

    The rushing waters look very fierce! Maybe a bit too rough for rafting? :D

    Hiya Al,
    I wandered off the main track and was seduced by this waterfall in the widget below today's post.
    I like the way you slowed down the speed to get that water so active in the second shot.Nice to see these two images side by side.
