By Ruffin Prevost<\/h3>\n

CODY \u2014 More than 3.6 million people visited Yellowstone National Park last year, but there\u2019s no telling how many millions of pictures they took while there. Photographing Yellowstone \u2014 from Old Faithful and Lower Yellowstone Falls to wildlife like bison and bears \u2014 is a daily rite of passage for tourists by the busloads.<\/p>\n

But for some enthusiasts lucky enough to live at the doorstep of America\u2019s first national park, Yellowstone National Park<\/a>\u00a0is an endless reservoir of inspiring natural images that serves as both a focus and a point of departure for a community of diverse photographers.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that photographers are drawn to Yellowstone Country, but \u201cthis area creates photographers \u2014 it created me as a photographer,\u201d said Meg Sommers<\/a>\u00a0a nature photographer and president of the Cody Camera Club.<\/p>\n

Sommers and other members of Open Range Images<\/a>, a cooperative fine art photo gallery, helped organize a show last week of work by more than 30 local photographers. Though the eclectic display included everything from the birds of Costa Rica to Death Valley scenery, it was mainly filled with images of wildlife and natural landscapes from around Yellowstone Country.<\/p>\n

Sommers worked as an attorney and justice of the peace for 20 years before leaving the law to spend her time photographing Yellowstone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just drawn to the park. I was enthralled with it. I loved it,\u201d said Sommers, who spends three weeks in Yellowstone each winter and up to 16 weeks there during the summer season, moving her camper trailer from one campground to the next.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s part of a collegial group of dedicated photographers who regularly prowl the park in search of wildlife and scenic shots. Many of those Sommers knows live in the area, but others come from around the country, and often schedule yearly vacations to coincide with prime picture times in Yellowstone, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou might be waiting for six hours on a badger den, waiting for the mom to come back, so you get to know people pretty well. It\u2019s quite a community and I love it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Leon Jenson<\/a> has been photographing Yellowstone for years, and sees the park as just a small part of a vast expanse of wild country in Wyoming that makes up a photographer\u2019s paradise of stunning landscapes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat people are used to seeing is mostly Yellowstone and the Tetons. But when you think about all that\u2019s out there in the Bighorns and the Beartooths, this area is really still an untapped resource,\u201d Jenson said.<\/p>\n

Jenson has contributed photos to numerous outdoors magazines, but like most photographers around Cody, he must maintain a day job to pay the bills. He regularly schedules time off from his job at Wal-Mart up to eight months in advance to shoot sunsets, for instance, at just the right time of year in Utah\u2019s Zion National Park.<\/p>\n

His painterly images of warmly lit natural landscapes come from being at the right place at the right time, Jenson said. He relies on tips from fellow photographers, data from the Internet and even reports from local hikers to track everything from seasonal wildflower blooms to summer thunderstorms.<\/p>\n

For Greybull photographer Drew Toland, staying in the same place has been the key to compiling a unique collection of Wyoming images.<\/p>\n

Toland, a trainmaster for BNSF Railway, watches over an ever-changing stream of images arriving from across the country, as railroad cars covered in graffiti pass through the company\u2019s rail terminal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\u201cI\u2019m looking for anything that seems to take a lot of creative and artistic talent,\u201d said Toland, who has been photographing rail car graffiti for more than two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a real skill to a lot of it, and I like to capture it because some of it won\u2019t be around for long,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Like Toland, Powell photographer Rob Koelling<\/a> keeps an eye out for unconventional Wyoming images.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like to take photos of the ugly parts of Wyoming<\/a>,\u201d joked Koelling, a professor of English at Northwest College, where an acclaimed photography program adds to the many skilled shooters in the region.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Koelling has an eye for capturing the beauty in badlands, and has lately focused on the juxtaposition of natural landscapes and remote drilling rigs or wind turbines.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also like taking bird photos because, for me, it\u2019s a lot like hunting, but it\u2019s a lot less messy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Elijah Cobb<\/a>, one of 15 members of the Open Range Images gallery, said he helped organize the show to offer a forum to the diverse range of photographers around Yellowstone Country.<\/p>\n

Cobb\u2019s images include studio still lifes made using unconventional lighting techniques<\/a>, but he also draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the area<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, the ultimate is if you see a slide show or portfolio and feel like you\u2019re looking out through someone else\u2019s eyeballs,\u201d he said. \u201cThat is the coolest thing a photographer can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
