Stripes
I do not normally see zebras in this area. this is just somewhere south of Morro Bay near Hwy 1 (PCH) in California.
''Long-billed Curlew'' Morro Bay, CA
I liked the way I caught the other one in the background.
Don't Look Back! Redwoods NP
For good wildlife shot you normally do not want to get the rear end, however, this elk happened to turn around and make this more a worthwhile shot. The other issue is I do not have high powered $10,000 lenses so I always take this opportunity to get a ‘’close-up’’ with wildlife.
Moonrise Over the Poles
I noticed a nice full moon rising as I was headed to my camping spot near Mt. Baker in Washington. I remember thinking how wonderful if I could run across some kind of subject and I could put in front of this wonderful moonrise. Obviously my wishes were answered.
The Palace

Artist Point, Yellowstone National Park
I have not been here since 1994. Honestly, Yellowstone was not my favorite park. I know... what is this person talking about?? Perhaps I never gave it a fair chance. I have made at least five trips to the Grand Tetons since 1994 but I get too caught up with those majestic mountains so then I end up running out of time for Yellowstone. Anyways I am getting a little off track here.
I got up early one morning in August of 1994 and went out to Artist Point. I shot a whole roll of Fuji only to find out later that I double-exposed it! I am usually so careful about this using a sharpie to mark the roll and I always entered my shots onto a log sheet. I had never made this mistake before or after until I stopped using film altogether in 2009. None-the-less, only a few frames were usable. This was one of them!!
The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone
Artist Point is an overlook point on the edge of a cliff on the south rim of the “Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone” in Yellowstone National Park. The point is located east-northeast of Yellowstone Falls on the Yellowstone River. Artist Point was originally named in 1883 by Frank Jay Haynes who improperly believed that the point was the place at which painter Thomas Moran sketched his 1872 depictions of the falls. Later work determined that the sketches were made from the north rim, but the name Artist Point stuck.
Old Schoolhouse
I was on my way from Jackson, Wyoming to Moab, Utah when I came across this old schoolhouse in Ovid, Idaho.
Ford Tri-Motor landing on Runway 30
at San Carlos Airport (KSQL.)
I knew there was "something" going on because I could hear the sound of an unusual aircraft flying over my home. Even further, this "unusual" noise was happening every about every hour. So, I headed down to the airport and captured this image.
Lily Pad
A pink water lily partially opened. This was shot at San Francisco Botanical Gardens located in Golden Gate Park. San Francisco Botanical Garden showcases more than 8,000 different kinds of plants from around the world.
Violet Reflection
A beautiful Violet Water Lily with a wonderful reflection. This was shot at San Francisco Botanical Gardens located in Golden Gate Park. San Francisco Botanical Garden showcases more than 8,000 different kinds of plants from around the world.
Plumeria Casa de Reynes
My brother-in-law was quite the collector of Plumeria he even had a greenhouse in the backyard of his Venice California home. I am guessing he had over 50 types of plumeria not only in his greenhouse, but throughout the front and backyard.
Apples at the Farmers Market
During the summer a local farmers market visits one of our main shopping streets as the summer begins one of our main streets hosts a farmers’ market on the last Thursday of the month. This is my first attempt at trying to capture anything interesting. I like the shadows but wish if could have been sharper!
Nerve
Nerve plant Fittonia Verschaffeltii leaves
The Wave
Homalomena Wallisii is highly sought after plant for its camouflage like foliage. The dark green leaves are marbled with bright yellow markings. H. Wallisii is the rare cousin of the increasingly popular Homalomena Rubescens variety.
Waiting for my Next Meal
Sarracenia ‘Leah Wilkerson’ has the go-go-gadget pitchers of the naturally occurring Sarracenia hybrids. The plant’s largest recorded pitchers are coming in at 50 inches tall. Average pitcher height is a still-ridiculous 36 inches with hoods of 6.5 inches.
Have Yourself a Tall One
Sarracenia flava is commonly referred to as the Yellow Trumpet plant. This common name captures the essence of tall flowering stalks (visibly similar to the “tuning slide” of a trumpet) and pitchers (“bell” of a trumpet). Flowers have bright yellow petals and exude a less-than-lovely essence of cat urine... nice!
Sunset
Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Mother Lode') is a plant that boasts dramatic and vibrant flowers. The trumpet-shaped blooms are typically 3 to 8 inches in diameter with dramatic protruding stamens. Native to Asia, tropical hibiscus plants produce flowers constantly, but each blossom only lasts one day.

My name is Scott and this is my second major website revision for ScottHamptonPhotography.com. I am an IT pro but not a website designer. My old photography website was very ‘’static’’ looking and needed to be moved into the modern world. Luckily I was able to find an app that helped me move my website into the modern age! As a result, this site is currently in development and has minimal navigational (or any other) features at this time(November 2015.)
