I spent most of the day Monday revisiting my pictures from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park back in August 2009.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> My wife and I spent almost 2 weeks exploring Wyoming and had a great time.&nbsp; I took a lot of pictures to say the least and never really spent a lot of time editing them and really digging through them until recently.&nbsp; I have been using the Nik Software suite of plug ins for Aperture and I must say the Tonal Contrast filter really has made some of these images pop.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lemmophoto.com/img/v5/p124242317-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" ps="true" src="http://www.lemmophoto.com/img/v5/p124242317-4.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My first blog and my first blog post.&nbsp; Woohoo.&nbsp; Anyway I figured I would start with something I just recently received in the mail.&nbsp; The FedEx man just delivered a beautiful canvas print of this image to me the other day and I must say I am very pleased with the quality.&nbsp; I ordered this print and two others from <a href="http://www.canvasondemand.com/">Canvas on Demand</a>&nbsp;.&nbsp; I have a Professional account with them and was able to get the prints made rather reasonably cost wise.&nbsp; Now I just need to find a space for it on the wall.<br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The image above was taken by me this summer on Assateague Island in Maryland (<a href="http://www.nps.gov/asis/naturescience/horses.htm">Assateague's Wild Horses NPS.Gov</a>)&nbsp; and was shot with my newly aquired Nikon D700 at the time and a Nikon 300mm F4 AFS lens(I recently sold this great lens and upgraded to a 300mm 2.8 AFS VR and miss it already).&nbsp; <br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Assateague is a great place to visit on my yearly vacation to the Maryland/Delaware beaches.&nbsp; My wife and I always try to stop over to Assateague and see the horses and the beautiful beach.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are always able to see a great variety of birds, deer, and other animals on the island. <br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
