Tetons in the Fall: Day 3 - Chasing Light
Day Three in Grand Teton National Park began with a bull moose wandering through the sagebrush and ended with an up-close encounter with beavers at blue hour. In between, changing weather brought dramatic storm clouds, golden light spilling across the Tetons, and rainbows over a herd of bison. From capturing one of my favorite landscape photographs to trying new wildlife photography techniques, it was a day filled with unexpected opportunities, shared excitement, and a few moments that almost slipped right past us.
Tetons in the Fall: Day 2 - An Unexpected Detour to Yellowstone
A 4 a.m. wake-up call, a two-hour drive into Yellowstone, and absolutely no guarantees. What began as a spontaneous change of plans turned into an extraordinary day of wildlife encounters. From watching a great gray owl hunt silently through a dense forest to spotting wolves, bighorn sheep, pikas, a grizzly bear, and a bull moose, the opportunities just kept coming. Not every encounter resulted in a great photograph, but each offered something memorable. By the end of the day, I was exhausted, grateful, and beginning to wonder if our guide, Evan Watts, had a special talent for attracting wildlife.
Tetons in the Fall: Day 1
Five days in Grand Teton National Park began with unusually warm October temperatures, golden cottonwoods, and high hopes of photographing moose during the fall rut. As daylight faded, our search seemed unlikely to pay off.
