All my spare brain power right now is going into work­ing on the out­line for a novel.  I wish I had more to say—I prob­a­bly will in a few days.  To tide you over (and keep you com­ing back for more), here’s a b-​​side photo from my Yellowstone expe­di­tion ear­lier this year.

Compositionally, this photo is okay. What it really lacks is any kind of dynamic light­ing.  There’s a sin­gle light source in this photo—an over­cast sky, which just hits every­thing with an equal light.  No shad­ows any­where, which makes for a pretty flat photo.  I have a ton of pho­tos like these where I’m happy with the com­po­si­tion, but I was just there at the wrong time of day.  Once again—the secret to good pho­tog­ra­phy is tak­ing a lot of pic­tures and throw­ing away the bad ones.
