Happy Monday y'all! To be honest, Monday don't mean anything to me, spent most of my adult life working a Wednesday to Sunday schedule. It's not the start of my weekend anymore but I still have trouble dreading it.
Mornings though, those I dread. Me and the sun, we're usually not in sync very well. About the only time I'm up and at it early in the morning is when photography is involved.
These photos are all from one of those occasions, I was camping in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming and got it in my head to shoot the sunrise one morning.
Went down to the shore of Jackson Lake and set up my tripod and camera and waited for the sunrise. The weather conspired with the wildfire smoke to make it a rather lackluster sunrise, lots of clouds and haze and little color.
Giving up on the sunrise, I headed down the shoreline to see what else I could see. Rain mostly.
It was a bit of fun shooting the rain moving in, at least until it made it to my side of the lake.
Got kinda dark and went in a hurry and then just as quickly the storm moved on and the sun came out to play.
Went from needing a waterproof camera to needing a lens hood in all of twenty minutes.
Unfortunately I didn't have the time to see if conditions would be better on another morning, one of these days though...
What's the most number of times you've had to revisit a place to get the shots you wanted?
At least 3.
I just learned how to favorite authors. Did you know you could do that? Now I can sift through way less to find you.
I was reading yesterday of a photographer who spent over 3,000 hours to get a particular shot of a particular fish. If sufficiently motivated I can be patient but I have my doubts about that patient.
Did not know that, will be checking it out though, thanks!
Are you gonna show me the fish?
When you're fishing with dynamite there's not much left to show.
Sounds fishy to me.
What else is a fish supposed to smell like?
These are some fantastically gorgeous shots! Really quite breathtaking. Thanks for sharing! =) WOW
Thanks! The Tetons are an amazing place, pretty sure I could keep going back there forever and not get sick of it.
Thanks for dropping by!
I could see why one would not ever get sick of that scenery! Cheers!
The cool weather and warm weather really change the mood of landscape photo. Great capture my friend.
I think the most time I need to revisit a place to take a landscape photo is around 4 to 5 times only. 😅 I am very bad at landscape photography.
Thank you!
Hey, 4 or 5 times ain't bad, usually takes me more than that!
those are some amazing pictures! really appreciate them! :)
i don't really have a picture in mind when i go to take photos. Just enjoy the progress and i am happy in the afterwards when i like the outcomes.
Thank you!
Lol, that's usually what I do too. Then I discover something that'd make a great shot, if only conditions were a bit different.
Thanks for dropping by!
Beautiful shots, my friend! Congrats
and nice story around the weather and how things turned out for you hahaha great diary
Thank you!
