The "Right" way to photograph the Grand Tetons!
Jul 27, 2012 13:05:07 #
You have all seen the picture of the majestic Tetons towering in the background with a cabin that is on the valley floor in the foreground. Well, that is the easy and lazy approach! The right way is to hike for 2 days and 18 miles and get to the base (10,000+ alt) of the Grand Tetons, dragging a D7000 and an 18-200 lens! Then walking out on the 3rd day for a total of 26 miles! Here is one of the photos taken of myself and my boys from our trip last week. This is where the technical climbers would begin to scale the face. I am so tired!
F11, 1/320, ISO 200, 26mm

Impressed. Will enjoy seeing your photos. I'll just have to enjoy photo ops from the ground floor if I ever go back

Ain't that the truth! We reminisce about these trips all the time. Gives us common ground to build our relationships on!

Good luck! There are many, many different trails to follow in the Tetons. Avoid the easy spots to avoid the crush of humanity that are on these trails, Phelps & Jenny Lake spring to mind. To really get away from it all, the path less taken is far more rewarding!

Great family time and great sky.
Seriously not criticising or sarcastic but... why are you all leaning to your left? Tripod on sloped ground, processing aberation or what?

You need to look closer at the photo. We are standing on ground that is sloped to our right. The right foot is lower than the left. The body is compensating for the effect of gravity on the right side by a natural lean to the left to keep the itself in an upright position. Plus we each have been hiking 18 miles while carrying around 40 lbs on our back. Our shoulders and hips are sore and we are trying to make ourselves as comfortable as possible.
