WOW! I bumped into two photographers today that told me, “I love your newsletter!”
That’s GREAT! However, I must not be getting the message out fully. Neither of them knew they “needed” to visit the Daily Journal regularly as the month progresses.The notification subscribers receive on the first of each month is just the INITIAL ENTRY for the daily updates for that month.
With few exceptions, I add more photos and comments to the Daily Journal page every day throughout the month!
For example, if you only viewed the March 1st emailed page, you would be missing this photo of Sleeping Indian I added on the 2nd of the March. The photos in the “emailed newsletter” consisted of only photos I took on the 1st of the month! Continue reading "Best of the Tetons: Not Just a “Newsletter”!"
If you have been watching the February 2019 Daily Journal for GTNP & JH,you will already know that February was an unusually snowy month for Jackson Hole. Many of the major roads and most of the secondary roads have been closed due to the heavy snowfalls and blowing snow. As of mid-day March 1st, the valley is finally coming out of the stranglehold. US Highway 89/191 had been closed for four days, but is now open. The National Elk Refuge Road had been closed even longer, but it is also open again.
After several big storms in February, Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park might best described as a “Winter Wonderland”. I made a morning run to the northern portion of the park this morning. I never expect to see a lot of mammals in that area. , Most of them move south (Kelly area and National Elk Refuge) for the Winter. There are always “chances” to see River Otters, Ermine, Coyotes, and Foxes, but I never count on it. Going north usually means putting on your “landscape hat” (but keep a camera body and telephoto lens ready for wildlife). In late September, would expect dozens of photographers on either side of me while at this spot at Oxbow Bend! Nikon D850 and Nikon 70-200mm lens, Handheld
Bald Eagle: I took this photo yesterday along the highway. Today, I drove around 100 miles and never saw an Eagle. I mention this here to illustrate how much difference one day can be over another. (Actually, that is the case all year!) Nikon D850 and Nikon 200-500mm lens, Handheld.
Aaron’s FAVORITE Travel Tripod: Slik SPRINT VIDEO Travel Tripod with Fluid-Effect 2-Way Panhead
What tripod does Aaron use in the backcountry and on travel? It’s the “same” tripod as Survivorman Les Stroud. It’s handy, light, pretty versatile, and not expensive. It’s served Aaron well and he uses it for a lot of his Youtube channel videography.
It can’t hold a huge camera or a big lens. But for backcountry travel where you need something, it’s great. Watch the video to see how it might work for you.
How do you add an event to Events Manager Pro in WordPress? Watch Aaron demonstrate this for you. WordPress is a massive platform that runs a significant chunk of the websites on the entire Internet. The interface can be daunting. Each plugin is different. Aaron will break it down and make it very easy for you to understand how to add an event.
