Baxter Park Revisited

I promised to add more images from this fall’s adventure to Baxter Stake Park to photograph the moose. As I mentioned in the last installment, the morning of the 8th was pretty dismal at Sandy Stream Pond . No moose were sighted. But as always, the pond lends itself to some nice early morning photography.

After several hours at Sandy Stream we spent much of the rest of the day checking out Stump Pond and traveling the Golden Road in search of moose. Instead of moose, I contented myself with photographing the foliage which was near its peak.

The morning of the 9th was to prove to be much more productive. Again we hiked the short path to Sandy Stream Pond before daybreak. The emerging sunrise allowed another capture of the pond, this one processed from 7 RAW images using high dynamic range (HDR) processing

Not only were we rewarded with a very placid lake -side scene, but a bull moose too!

The next and final installment from this years trip will provide a gallery of images.
