Yellowstone is not known for astounding landscape photo locations. The best seasons for landscape work are late spring and winter. In late spring the green look of its open meadows can be quite enticing. This is also the best time to photograph the classic view of Yellowstone Falls from artists point.
In winter the right combination of snow and clouds can turn almost any scene into a winter wonderland. The key to all this is of course the light. Sometimes soft light and dramatic clouds can do the trick. Sometimes the direct golden light of early morning or late afternoon works its magic. Keep your eyes and imagination open to the vistas opening before you.
