I'm going to Yellowstone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a big deal, because when we traveled across the US for our honeymoon, we made it to West Yellowstone to find out Yellowstone was closed (this was early April). So I've been dieing to go back. So this was my early Christmas/Birthday present. I am so excited!!
So now I really need to get that gimbal head I want. I was leaning towards a flashpoint head, cuz it's what I can afford. But last weekend I saw a jobu head well design and very sturdy. More then I am willing to spend, but a photographers gotta do what a photographers gotta do. lol
I also need to buy a new lens, because my 18-135 broke.
I wonder if my boss will give me a raise...or a Christmas bonus??????
Heck, I am on here enough, Alex should be so kind and offer to get me the Jobu head since they are also a vendor.
OK, so has anyone been to Yellowstone? Where are the best places to go to photograph anything and everything. lol Where are the boring stuff so I can cross that off the list?
Any advice, suggestions, tips etc..
We are only staying a week, but taking 2 full weeks as we are driving there. Also hope to take a drive up to Glacier National Park too.
I'm so excited, can you tell???
WOW~ That is a terrific gift. We have been talking about going for several years now. I'm sure you will find things to shoot every where you go. I can't help you with what sights to see but I can get excited over you going - actually I insist on it!

as a big ass awesome birthday present. 
dont blame you for being a little giddy over such an awsome trip, I have never been but would imagine it is a large haven of multiple photographic choices, do enjoy and share the photos with us and good luck with the gallery also.

Buy bear spray BEFORE you enter Yellowstone, you will save over $10 on a canister that way!
You can see some of my images from there here and a couple of the final textured canvas prints I'm doing from that trip here.
Thank you Steven.
I wonder if I can buy bear spray online...I'm sure, one can buy everything online. lol 
It is what it is.
