Lee Metcalf Wilderness

One of my favorite places is the Lee Metcalf Wilderness area, just outside of West Yellowstone, Montana.  Not a place to photograph a lot of wildlife but it’s a place of beauty.  The magic of the mountains uncluttered with roads is truly breath-taking.  Hiking or horseback riding is the only way you can visit this special place.  Believe me, it is well worth the effort.

 

I hope to revisit this place which is so good for landscape photography and better yet good for the soul.

 

This image is an HDR image made from 5 different exposures combined in Nik software with the use of Lightroom and Photoshop to complete the processing.  The five exposures varied by one stop each.  It’s been a while since I processed an HDR image and I found the time spent very rewarding.

 

Now it’s time to spend some time in those mountains.

 

Embrace the journey!
