| Comments |
After
sunrise and under a gray pale sky, we strolled into the grand
view terrace and down the stairs into the park's impressive
amphitheater. On the hillside, mountain goats roam freely,
accustomed to tourists and paying no attention to us at all
as shown by that goat in the image. I pumped up the ISO one
notch to get a faster shutter speed and shoot across the guard
rail in a most uncomfortable and unsteady position. Should
have taken the time to mount the polarizer filter. We were
rushing to have a good hearty breakfast at the giant cafeteria.
The visiting crowds must be rather large. |
