Thanks for sharing, Greg. These are magnificent! Makes me really inspired to get back out west.

Could you share a little bit about your process for finding and photographing wildlife? IE are you using a guide service, going alone, with a buddy, etc.? Do you have radio contact with the rangers/spotters? I'e spent a few weeks in the park (though usually later into summer when the animals are higher up) and have never had even an inkling of the success you've got here.

Hi Cass,

Thanks for taking the time to comment on the images, I appreciate it. When I go to the park I go by myself, have never used a guide and I don't have a two-way radio or a scanner. When I go it's usually for a minimum of two weeks. If there is a lot of activity I will stay longer. Early spring and late fall only. I go to the high percentage areas first to look for wildlife activity. Lamar Valley, Little America, Hayden Valley, Tower Falls and the stretch of road between Swan Lake Flat and Norris Junction. Most photographers in the park will share wildlife information and locations if you politely ask, so don't be shy. There is also some luck involved. I have also gone weeks at a time without seeing anything or taking a single image. It happens to all of us. I attached a link to a website that people post trip information on that can be used as a resource for wildlife activity.

Thanks for the detailed response, Greg. So what's you're telling me is your beautiful photo portfolio is the culmination of tons of patience, hard work, time invested, and research completed? Huge shocker (kidding). I love hearing your response, as I think it goes to prove that, even in a wildlife hotbed like Yellowstone, it's not just show up, stick your camera out the window, and move on.

Keep up the good work!
Cass

Hi Tim,

I would bet that we have seen each other at one time or another in the park. Thanks for taking the time to view and comment on the images. I truly appreciate it.

Everyone has pretty much said what I was thinking, but... wow!
Your variety of images is staggering, as is the variety in behavior that you shared.
The bear cubs playing and the mother flanked by her cubs are stunners.
I hope to be camping for a week in West Yellowstone, and would be happy to get just one solid image from the trip... your collection sets a very high bar.

cheers,
bruce
