Pentax cameras at Yellowstone
6

I just got back from a one week trip in Yellowstone.   It was a lot less crowded than usual for this time of year because of COVID.  Light traffic and no hunting for parking spots.  As usual i kept an eye on what cameras others were using.  I was surprised to see three people had Pentax K1's.  Of course I saw  several hundreds of  Canons and Nikons.  A handful of Fuji's.  A few Sony's.  And one lone Olympus.  For this trip I took my KP and K50.

Here is one shot from Grand Prismatic Spring which was about the most crowded spot we came upon, besides the noon time crowd at Old Faithful.    If you zoom in you can count how many people are wearing masks, if that is interesting to you.

The Yellowstone park is truly unique. I think it's great you took advantage of the times and went when there are fewer guests.. Even though the cause  of the reduced visitors is a sad one. Keep safe

Nice shot. We were lucky to visit in Yellowstone about 15 years ago. Best holiday of my life.
