The Tetons! Autumn
We only had a few hours in the Tetons, as we drove down from Gardiner and had to get back by evening. One of our first stops was at a bend in the river for a classic autumn view of the Tetons. Here we have a moderate wide angle view with the Sony a5100 and Sony E 10-18 f4 at 27mm equivalent…and a moderate telephoto view with the Sony a6700 and Tamron 50-400 Di iii at 75mm equivalent. Both capture an aspect of the autumn mountains. Superior Auto on the a5100 and Program mode on the a6700. Processed in Photomator.
Yellowstone! Another day on the carcass
Grizzly Bear and Wolves: Hayden Valley, Yellowstone National Park, October 2024 — Because we were on our way to the Tetons, we arrived at the Bear Jam in the Hayden Valley early, with the fresh sun on the ridge where the carcass was and the wind not risen yet. Better conditions by far than our first stop there, but still, the Bears and Wolves were too far away of great photography. This is from the ridge above and on the other side of the road. A ranger was set up there with a scope, showing visitors what all the lenses were pointed at. There were two bears, though one stayed pretty much hidden behind the other and half a dozen wolves. Again this is a 2mp crop from the 26mp sensor, so there are not many pixels under the bear and wolves. 🙂 Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm equivalent.
