Last year was the first time we had spent anytime in Jackson Hole in the summer and we decided to return for a
much longer visit this year, we're currently entering our third week. Arriving mid June we've encountered snow,
sleet, rain, hail, fog, wind, and beautiful blue cloudy skies.

We hadn't captured the area in infrared as much as
we've done this trip using a variety of IR filters such as 665, 720, and 830nm
(read previous posts for more information on IR work). We've been using the new Sony A7r with both
a FE 24-70 and 70-200 lens in color and IR and are very impressed with
the results. Medium format gear has been
used as well with the Phase One 60 megapixel IQ160 digital back being switched between
a Phase One DF 645 camera and a Cambo WRS technical camera.
A little behind the scenes of what it took to capture
wildflowers with the technical camera.
This is the setup Don used comprising of a Really Right Stuff tripod,
Arca Swiss Cube head, Cambo WRS, Phase One IQ160 and a Rodenstock 40mm lens tethered
to a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 running Capture One.
All that to capture this...
In the short time we've been here we've explored in and
around the Jackson Hole area as well as venturing as far north as Gardiner MT and the
northern reaches of Yellowstone National Park and east to Cody WY Yellowstone .

We normally spend the fall and early winter in the Jackson Hole area with this being the first of many more
summer visits. While the crowds are
larger, we tend to visit the more remote areas and haven't been affected as
much. We've been fortunate to capture
beautiful landscape and see and in most cases capture bear, buffalo and other
wildlife; summer is also the time for
wildflowers.
