This Month in Yellowstone
Erik
Hendrickson - Scoping Yellowstone
Erik Hendrickson is the son of a Park Ranger. He lived
and played in the Mammoth Hot Springs area as a child. Now he works
here as an engineer in our Business Management Office. While his father
was an avid photographer, Erik didn’t have much interest in photography
until recently.
Rather than merely writing his niece and nephew, he
decided that it would be more fun to show them photos of the things
he was seeing while he was out and around the park with his spotting
scope. When he ran across a new photo technique called digiscoping,
he decided to give it a try.
The process is simple. Hold a digital camera up to
the eyepiece of a spotting scope and take several photos. It sometimes
takes several to get a couple of good images. Once Erik saw my email
calling for photos from staff, he decided to share his photos with all
of us as well as with his niece and nephew.
