September 1st: Saturday of the Labor Day Weekend!

Slim JimThere are 52 weeks in a year. Of the 52, only one of them offers a chance to see bull Moose stripping their velvet. Most photographers like capturing the event, while some, like my wife, shy away from seeing the bloody velvet hanging from their red antlers. Photographing a bull Moose stripping its velvet is actually a tough assignment for a variety of reasons. First, it isn’t that easy to find a bull Moose in a 310,000 park. Second, and more importantly, it’s not easy to find one at the exact moment. A bull can strip the bulk of its velvet in 15 to 30 minutes, but will often have a tassel hanging from the base of the antlers for a while longer.

During September, I’ll work on two pages simultaneously. This September Foliage 2018 post will contain more specific information about the ever changing foliage status in the area. The September 2018 Daily Journal for JH and GTNP page will contain some foliage information, but will focus more on wildlife and landscapes. You’ll want to go to both regularly. Note: Think of this page as a day to day or week to week resource containing mainly “record shots”. The photos are not intended to be “wall hangers”, but more documentary in nature. Also, this page will grow in size and scope as the month progresses. Check back regularly! Continue reading "Foliage Reports September/October 2018"

Rendezvous Park :

Another of Jackson Hole’s “Hidden Gems”.

Rendezvous Park Entrance Well…it’s not really that hidden! Instead, you might suggest the 40 acre park is hiding in plain sight along the Snake River at the junction of US Highway 22 and the Moose/Wilson Road (State Road 390). The R Park is nestled next to the Wilson Snake River Boat launch and the bike path. Continue reading "Rendezvous Park :"

“Planning” for Night Photography in the Tetons!

F/1.4 and Be There!

Oxbow Bend Normally, I “plan” to stay out late for night skies. My wife sees me packing up and I tell her I am planning on heading out for stars. Occasionally, my wife modifies my plan when she reminds me of the party we are going to that night. Of course, weather can thwart my best laid plans. Thick clouds have sent me home early on numerous occasions. There’s a saying that goes something like this: “Make a plan. If the plan is not working, make new plan.” The saying works equally well for photographers and fishermen. There’s another saying, “If you can’t write your plan on the back of a business card, you haven’t thought your plan trough well enough.” Such is the nature of planning. Grand Teton National Park can be quite busy during the Summer months. One good way of beating the crowds is stay out long past their normal visitation hours! Everyone already knows Jackson Hole has a lot to offer, and is great in the daytime, but it’s also great at night. Northwest Wyoming, which includes Grand Teton National Park and much of Yellowstone, has some of the clearest and darkest skies in the continental US.
