\"StormStorm over Buffalo Point – Nikon D300, f16, 1\/320, ISO 500, +1.7 EV, Nikkor 18-200mm VR at 18mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

After 5 days of not going out into the field I was having withdrawals so yesterday Antelope Island State Park<\/a> was our destination even though there were clouds. After the cold, cloudy weather I hoped that the birds would be active but that wasn’t to be, in fact very few birds were seen close enough to get decent images of but the weather did put on a show.\u00a0At the group campground the sun lit up the slopes of Buffalo Point and the clouds provided the drama as thunder boomed in the distance. The thunder was about the only noise I heard other than the breeze rustling the grasses.<\/p>\n

\"ClearingClearing clouds over Freemont Island and Promontory Point\u00a0– Nikon D300, f16, 1\/250, ISO 500, +1.3 EV, Nikkor 18-200mm VR at 48mm, natural light<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Last week I\u00a0read an article about photographers misbehaving in Yellowstone\u00a0with a photo included that showed perhaps 30-40 photographers lined up side by side and some times they were two deep\u00a0plus\u00a0there were lots of other people with smaller cameras milling around in the background. I am sure there were loads more people outside of the frame. I shuddered at the thought of being in that line of photographers.<\/p>\n

That just isn’t my cuppa tea.<\/p>\n

What is my cuppa tea is taking in all of the beauty around me as I did yesterday looking north from Antelope Island as the clouds were clearing over Promontory Point and Freemont Island and the only noise I heard was from California Gulls flying overhead.<\/p>\n

I love photographing my subjects but I am also there for the experiences I crave in nature, the quiet, the peace and\u00a0the grand views. I’m there to connect with the natural world.<\/p>\n
