Thanks for enjoying the ‘Be There’ series. This is the final chapter in that series.
From our recent trip to Wyoming, specifically to Grand Teton National Park. The images are of the stunning Teton Range. I took a photo workshop from the Nature in Focus team. We were based at the Triangle X Ranch (awesome food and great accommodations!)
Our first morning, David and Cecil got us on the road early (like before sunrise early!) for a sunrise shot from the Snake River Overlook. This is the spot where Ansel Adams made his iconic image of the Grand Teton in 1942. It was a touch chilly, but definitely worth going.We returned to the Ranch for breakfast and I caught this scene in front of the Lodge!We had the morning to ourselves, so I loaded up a couple new friends and ventured out in search of pictures. This cross country skier passed by at an opportune time.This close up of the Grand Teton is a triptych (one image in 3 prints, each print 19″ tall x 13″ wide) in my Study, displayed above the digital darkroom (aka my computer table).I used my Canon RF 800 f/11 lens for this really close up of the Grand Teton. I’m not sure I’d want to climb this in the best conditions.During the week we were there, the mountains were visible like this only a couple of days. We stopped at one of the many scenic turnouts along the highway for this shot. Thanks to the tourist for venturing into the snow to add a nice element to the picture.We stopped at the only tourist shop that was open for a quick pit stop and I grabbed this shot with my mobile phone.
If you haven’t visited Jackson Hole and the Grand Teton National Park, you’re really missing out! Winter was a fantastic time to visit (even though I wore long underwear and insulated pants every day!). I hope the ‘Be There’ series makes you want to go! After all, it’s the first rule of photorgraphy!
