Matt K Post Processing my Old Patriarch Tree Photo
Posted: May 17, 2020
 
During the down time necessitated by the Corona Virus pandemic, I watched tons of videos and webcasts on a variety of topics. Quite a few of the webcasts I watched were hosted by Matt Kloskowski (www.MattK.Com) an educator in the field of photography software. Matt took this as an opportunity to engage folks on a variety of topics. These webcasts were widely followed and quite informative.

The Other Schwabacher Landing
Posted: June 10, 2018
 
Last fall, Rick Schuessler and I explored the other trail at Schwabacher Landing and agreed it was "do-again-able".

This morning I awoke to clouds in the sky and headed over to Grand Teton National Park for a day of photography.

Sunrise at Schwabacher Landing
Posted: August 27, 2017
 
Rick Schuessler and I did a sunrise shoot at Schwabacher Landing today.

We left the house just after 5 AM planning to arrive at Schwabacher for a 6:45 AM sunrise. We arrived at the parking lot around 6:20 AM. The parking lot was mostly full but we got pretty much the last space. Most of the folks were set up a short distance from the parking lot but we continued on to our location next to the beaver pond.

Today we went over to Grand Teton National Park for some sunrise photos.

I had met a young couple (Dave Wasserman & his girlfriend Sharlene) from New York City in May when I was in Zion National Park. We hit it off and, as usual, I talked a lot about Grand Teton National Park. They decided on a visit here in early September.

They were flying into Jackson at noon so Rick Schuessler & I decided to meet them for lunch at Dornan's. Since we were going over, why not go over early and take some sunrise photos?

We started at Schwabacher Landing. I have never seen the water so still thus we got some terrific reflections. The photos could have used some clouds but you takes what you gets.

We next went to the Hedrick Pond Overlook, a location I had never been and had just recently discovered. What a wonderful place to take photos of the whole Teton Range. I will be back.

After lunch and leaving Dave & Sharlene, Rick & I went to Mormon Row so he could take some photos of the barns. I started talking with a lady and we discovered we had met some 10 years ago at The Blue Lion restaurant in Jackson. At that time we discovered that she lived in Wichita KS and had taught Wash U volleyball player Whitney Smith in high school.

What are the odds of running into this same lady again 10 years later?

This photo was taken at Schwabacher Landing. I was there with my good friends Larry & Karen Kotner with whom I went to high school a few years back. We had been taking landscape photos including the mountains and the sky in our compositions. It was very hazy due to the many western forest fires and we did not seem to be having much luck. We decided to switch to taking flower photos. I happened across a patch of thistle and caught this shot.

By the way, we wound up deleting the landscape photos from that day because, even after some post processing, we were not able to salvage the shots.

Steve & Kathy Odenwald and I took a day to go over to Grand Teton National Park. Of course, we had to visit Schwabacher Landing. Lovely as always.

This photo is of the beaver dam with the snow covered peaks in the background.

Visited Schwabacher Landing today. Don't normally get to see a moose in the beaver pond during the daylight hours so that was a big treat.

I am usually not out west this long but had to remain longer to make sure the repair of my broken wrist was healed enough that the surgeon would allow me to leave the area.

This allowed me to experience and photograph fall colors in the Tetons. I was able to capture the third photo on the slider page. I think that it is my best landscape photo ever!
