HOW TO CAPTURE AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHY AT YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

Several other photographers and I went on a full-day photography excursion to Yellowstone National Park. Though I was super drained by the end of it, I was extremely happy with the amazing photos I was able to capture along the way. In the end, I managed to capture hundreds of different shots of Yellowstone’s various wildlife, landscapes, and nature. I had a ton of fun, and I am super excited about what I managed to capture on my camera.

Yellowstone National Park is filled with so much amazing scenery that can help you boost your photography skills. One key thing to apply to your photography travels is good timing. Our group had to head out to locations early before sunrise and we ended up staying out well-passed sunset. During these times of golden hour and blue hour are when outdoor lighting is best.

CAPTURING AMAZING YELLOWSTONE PHOTOGRAPHY

Some of my favorite shots were captured during sunrise and sunset. At these hours, I would go out with my tripod and find the angles that I wanted for my landscape shots. The sky would look amazing, so I would try my best to include it in the composition of my shot. Next comes the importance of camera settings.

It was vital to get your camera settings correct for the early morning and late night photography shoots at Yellowstone. The settings I would go to for the shots I got were a low ISO and a high aperture. I would set my ISO to 100. If I could go lower in my camera settings, I would. Next, I would set the aperture to F16-22. This would give me the largest focus of the entire landscape shot.

When it comes to how you set up your shutter speed, it depends on the light of the scene. Some shots might be 1/60 while others may need up to 4 seconds. Keep practicing and you will find the right balance.

Overall, the experience was amazing. I highly recommend that you go out and try Yellowstone photography for yourself.
