If you happen to be a camera buff there is practically no place else on earth to get prints than Yellowstone national Park. Yellowstone photography gives the photographer a multitude of sights to capture on film. This national park affords the tourist a panoramic view of any number of different areas.

It matters little if you are hoping to catch a geyser shooting skyward, or a form of wildlife in its natural habitat; it is here to find. Moose, elk, bison, and sheep, are just a few of the animals that call this park home. Breathtaking views of meadows painted with wildflowers and majestic waterfalls are all waiting to be spotted by your lens.

If you wish to spend time at Yellowstone Park you must get your reservation in early. Often the wait for space is quite long. The worst case scenario will find you staying off the grounds and keeping up with tours and the like during daytime visits. Admittedly less inviting, there is still plenty of time for you to snap shot after shot.

If you wish to be unemcumbered with the tourist trappings and want more freedom to move about, a fall visit may be what will suit you best. Fall is a time of change and the coming of winter will be ablaze in colors of orange and red throughout the canyon. Moose and elk will be sporting full racks of antlers and the high country will give up its sheep and bison.

The extreme cold of winter adds its crystalline touch to every surface. You can obtain entrance to the grounds using a snow machine. The whole of the park will seem as if it has become a crystal palace. Combine this extreme cold with the warmth of steam vents and the heat of the geysers and you will see the animals lingering to partake of the warmth generated there.

The opening of the park in spring is totally weather dependent. Like most places spring can come early or late. Entrances to the park are opened only as they become able to be traversed. Animals of many kinds are still present but this season would have the least to offer many photographers.

The different times of day will have an effect on the kind of photos you want to take. Late morning as the sun begins its ascent into the sky offers some colorful shots. Artist Point and Inspiration Point most likely had the camera in mind at this part of the day. Mid day will see a lens pointed in the direction of geyser basins and late day welcomes the animals as they graze about Madison.

The length of your stay can never be too long if you are hoping to get some of the best shots that Yellowstone photography has to offer. When the areas you visit are open to tourists there are no restriction on the photos that you take. Begin your visit with a tour to see where the best places are for picture taking. Any shots that you take cannot be used in advertising but can be used in postcards or blown up in various print sizes.
