Yellowstone National Park is an amazing place, but the Winter is extra-special. Access to the Park is limited to Snowcoaches and snowmobiles, restricting the usual flow of traffic to a bare minimum. The temperature during our visit ranged from 30 below to 30 degrees Farenheit.
Landscape photography in Yellowstone is especially challenging due to the relative scarcity of foreground elements. There is no shortage of snow and sky to form midgrounds and backgrounds, but a well composed photograph must contain some foreground element to convey a sense of depth. Capture of the dramatic and expansive winter skies of Yellowstone are enhanced through the use of the Nikon 16mm Fisheye lens and with Black and White digital conversion with Nik Silver Efex Pro.

I really hope to get a sense of the scope of Silver Efex pro. This example could be in the high desert or in the snow. Great example of propoer use of a fisheye. I like the way te sky is the most dramatic element.
