International Photographers Association of Los Angeles 洛杉磯國際攝影家協會

六月中，我及家人及十幾個舊日中學同學參加了一旅行社辦的7日遊團. 行程經過許多景點但主要還是以下幾個重要的旅遊區：Yellowstone ( 譯為黃色的洞吧, haha), Devil’s tower in Wyoming，Mount Rushmore 總統巨石像, Crazy-Horse 印地安英雄巨石像 （比4 個總統巨石加起來大）及arches National Park 的 Delicate Arch。

因為用電腦寫中文對我是一件大苦事，又慢又花時，所以還是直接了當的貼上行程中的一些過得去的照片. 不好的地方請指教，先謝了。

先貼一張 代表 “Yellow’s洞“ 的照片，不曉得這外號是否已copy right 了，不然我得先登記了。

其它待整理好再慢慢跟上.

-- Photos in this series were taken with the new D90 + its Kit Lens --

These are photos from the West Thumb area.
看起來有如人間天堂吧。 敢說你不想登上這座夢幻之橋？

Mammoth Hot Spring 有點像火星吧。令人有“世界末日” 之感。黑云，枯樹，溶漿 。。。

Oh, just kidding! It’s a very colorful and dramatic place to visit.

Mammoth Hot Spring#1气氛很好。

也喜欢哪一个要下雨的。

应该还有很多片吧。朋友带女儿刚跟团回来。昨天看她们母女两个用傻瓜相机拍的千八百张黄石附近的照片。有很多都是上乘品。哪个地方真美。那句话怎么说的？-“想拍抽都难”。不过Paul 这幅还是很特别。

謝謝 Frank L6，YuHong，Greg, 葉子師爺, 海, 和 Sayjames 的鼓勵。

海, 我們那團是在林肯買的. 不曉得美亚的七天BUS团背后是否由同一個公司組織包辦？. 不過，最重要的是最后那Arch NP行程，旅遊公司強調說它們是唯一一家提供足夠時間及有導遊親自帶隊hiking到 Delicate Arch (about 3:30hr round trip). 據導遊說, 這安排是其他公司所沒有的(也不想做的due to risk involved, I think).

旅程玩畢后，大家都覺得這行程辦得好。時間上也蠻充分的 (except me，I was busy photoshooting and therefore I was always the last one crazily rushing back to the bus. At one time, I was almost completely out of breath. Of course, for our photo folks, no matter how much time we get, it would never be enough. So, I have to be fair and agree with my friends’ assessment). 我們也很幸運有個相當有耐心，禮貌，經驗 的導遊。 （oh, I have seen and heard about tour guide being rude and impatient）.

Ok, 今晚再加幾張Yellowstone photos…

以下第一張是我女兒(photo by Michie)照的. 她的photo composition 比我好得多, 更藝術更美. 只差還未懂用SLR。I will post some of her work here later when I had a chance to get the files from her small p/s camera.

I would like to continue the photos captured from the SaltLake city/yellowstone/Colorado tour last 6/2009
... continued...

I arrived at the Arch National park in Colorado very late on a tour bus. The stormy sunset was extremely gorgeous. Unfortunately, the tour bus didn't stop for me to snap a picture. Upon arrival at the hotel parking lot, I immediately pull out my camera and got a last shot of the sunset.
The picture would be much better had it been done on the scenic road instead of the parking lot where the view is a lot more narrow and not clean.
