Rick in Yosemite above Tunnel View, selfie with shadow

Rick is in Yosemite working on getting a picture of the firefall on February 12, 2017. Along the way, we stopped at Badger Pass for some cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, then stopped at the parking area uphill of the Wawona Tunnel. From this area, Rick decided to try getting a selfie after looking at Yosemite Valley and Cascade Creek. After he took it, he discovered that he got his own shadow when taking this selfie. Make's for an interesting effect.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!

Robinson Twins "twin selfie" at the Lewis River in southern Yellowstone, with Lewis Falls in the distance.

We entered Yellowstone from the south in August, 2015 and stopped at the Lewis River, where a bridge crosses over. In the distance, the highest waterfall on the river is Lewis Falls, south of Lewis Lake, from which the river drains. Lots of people stop here as essentially the first really scenic pull out along the road when coming in from the south. At least, it's the first waterfall you'll encounter when entering from the south end of the park.

Rick held his Canon PowerShot SX530 at the end of a selfie stick to take this picture. This camera is light enough that the selfie stick can hold it. This trip was the first time we decided to try getting what we call "twin selfies" with any camera. The picture was taken at ISO 200, f/8, 1/640 sec.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
