Maker's notes:

This image was shot in Yellowstone NP right after dawn 8/27/2022. Camera was mounted on tripod in aperture priority mode set at f/11, ISO 100 resulting in a shutter speed of 1/40th sec.  The tripod was necessary so the ISO could be kept low.  Auto white balance.  Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.
