A Look Through My Lens At Grand Teton National Park

Have you ever been to Grand Teton National Park? If not, you need to book your next vacation right now and make that your destination. The Tetons are gorgeous! It doesn’t matter what time of the year you are visiting, they are always incredible. I have been to the park at least twice and I was blown away both times.

These first two pictures were taken at String Lake. This beautiful lake is located right between two other beautiful lakes! Jenny Lake and Leigh Lake. Triple Whammy! I mean really, just have a look for yourself and you will see only a glimpse of what you are missing.

This first picture was taken using an ND filter. This helped to warm up the photo as well as make the clouds look softer. In post, I was able to change the white balance a bit to help the picture look like the real deal. It was amazing! I boosted the clarity and brought down the highlights. The ND filter really seems to have helped me bring out the beautiful reds in the stump giving a great contrast to the green in the trees.

The mountain in the below picture kind of reminds me of the Matterhorn. I am just loving the reflections in the water! It was not a very windy day which made for very peaceful waters.

Schwabacher Landing. Put this on your bucket list. Seriously. It is just outside Grand Teton National Park and the Tetons are still beautiful even when it is overcast! This beautiful place is located right on a beaver pond. It was raining off and on when I was there, but when the rain stopped the pond was completely still and you already know how I love reflections! Another favorite thing to do is to position myself so that I have something in the foreground. It always seems to make the picture more interesting.

I do love me a good macro shot. My family has always loved moss for some reason. It sounds weird until you see a photo like this one. Moss is such a beautiful phenomenon. I brought up the clarity and contrast on this one to show the texture of the wood and the moss. Old things like this log can be so beautiful!

These fellas are all over Grand Teton National Park. I saw lots of them! This little guy climbed to the top of some sage brush that I was standing right next to. He was obviously cautious, but not afraid. His proximity to me gave me the photographic advantage here. He was already sharp so I just fixed the colors and cropped in a little in post and this was the result!

What is the moral of the story? Get yourself to the Tetons! I promise you won’t regret it. They were too far away to get a good picture, but, I saw pelicans. Just saying.
