Yellowstone 2021, Part 3 of 3

This post summarizes our whole two-week trip to Yellowstone / Grand Teton. The first post covers the week from May 23 to May 28. The second post covers the second week from May 29 to June 5.

All of the photos in these three posts can be found in this shared Google Photos album. More photos may be found in these shared Google Photos albums:

Here is a collage of all the bears I photographed - 14 in all (we saw 16 total, but I did not get pictures of two of them):


From upper left, the bears were found at:

  • Grand Teton National Park "likely bear spot"
  • South of Canyon Junction
  • Between Mammoth and Tower
  • Between Mammoth and Tower (through the windshield, sorry)
  • Between Mammoth and Tower (a couple of miles from the previous group)
  • South of Mammoth
  • Near the Yellowstone / Grand Teton border
  • Grand Teton National Park "likely bear spot"
  • Grand Teton National Park "likely bear spot"

This is a collage of all 8 Moose that we saw on our trip:


From upper left. the Moose were found at:
  • Grand Teton National Park, near the Moose entrance
  • West of Tower Junction
  • Gros Ventre River (next 6 Moose)
This final collage summarizes the very best of the best of the best of the roughly 6500 photos I shot. I hope you enjoyed reading and viewing!


As a final thought - time is both your enemy and your ally if you go to Yellowstone. It is huge, even bigger if you include Grand Teton (as you should). If we had not stayed the full two weeks, we would only have seen two Moose and maybe 5 bears. Yellowstone is certainly more crowded during the peak of summer. We have gone in May (twice), June (twice), July (during the COVID-19 pandemic), and August. It can be frustrating during peak time not to be able to find a parking spot. But it is still worth it to see the grandeur of the United States' Original National Park.

August 21, 2017 Total Solar Eclipse

Image
Like millions of other people, we went chasing the Great American Eclipse. We chose Nebraska, since everybody we knew was going to Wyoming, and the climate models suggested a good probability of clear weather. Our initial camp was at Lake McConaughy, which is just inside the line of totality. My sister Danielle and her husband Edward got there early to start scouting. Our plan was to check weather forecasts and then go mobile the day of the eclipse. The morning of August 19 I got up early and snapped this shot of the moon on its way to its date with destiny: Sunday morning we checked the forecasts. It was not looking good for Nebraska in general, but east-central Nebraska seemed better than western according to the forecasts. So we packed up camp and headed out to Camp Augustine, a Boy Scout camp near Grand Island, Nebraska: They had camping spots available, and a large field which would be good for observations. After a rather hot, muggy, sleepless night (dry camping wi

April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse

Image
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse crossed a huge swath of the United States. We had been planning a trip to see it ever since the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse . Our chosen destination was at Chalk Bluff River Resort and Park , near Uvalde, Texas, due to statistical likelihood of clear skies in South Texas: The main attraction at Chalk Bluff is Nueces River and the the eponymous bluffs that rise above it: Chalk Bluffs The eclipse was widely publicized. Enough so that the state of Texas found it necessary to put warnings on its highway signs: Texas DOT warning sign Texas DOT warning sign We arrived at Chalk Bluff on April 6. As eclipse day approached, it became clear that the weather was not going to be our friend: NWS blended forecast for eclipse day So, what was originally going to be an "Eclipse expedition, with a possibility of some birding" became a "Birding expedition, with a possibility of seeing an eclipse". It is fortunate that we chose thi

Addendum - new vs. old Canon 100-400mm

Image
In my previous post on this lens, I used a 1.4x teleconverter on both lenses.  I got a request to repeat the test without the teleconverters, so here are the results. These are all shot at ISO 400, f/5.6 at 400mm, 1/1600s, autofocus with the center point, RAW.  It is later in the day, and it looks like light clouds and shadows moving in the breeze are slightly changing the lighting between the shots, so caveat emptor.  First the whole image with the old lens: Next, the new lens: Here are the locations of the crops I took: First, the center crop.  The old lens: The new lens - again, sharper even in the center (although the moving shadows from the windy day make it a little harder to tell): The left edge crop, the old lens: The new lens - significantly sharper: And now, the corner crop, the old lens: And the new lens.  It is no contest: The chromatic aberration is not as bad with the old lens without the teleconverter - but the sharpness i
