Resting Marmot

Tired Marmot

Resting Marmot

While hiking Paintbrush Canyon in Grand Teton National Park last weekend, I came across my first two marmots of the season. One in particular didn’t really seem to care that I was there. It was pretty tired and just wanted to lie on his boulder.… Keep reading...

Jackson Hole Northern Lights Panorama

Northern Lights Over Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Jackson Hole Northern Lights Panorama

For those that weren’t aware, the night of Friday, August 5th showed off a spectacular display of northern lights, visible even as far south as Utah and Colorado.

I posted this photo onto my 500px page and after the great response, I realized I didn’t have it on my blog yet. I got this late one night while plugged into a friend’s Canon 500mm and also seeing just how good the 7D could handle high ISO. It turns out that even though there is noise, it’s still pretty usable and I’m looking forward to making a few prints to test out just how big I can get away with.… Keep reading...
