You seem to really be able to get out into the back country a lot to get these shots. Do you combine this with backpacking and camping trips, or are these mostly day hikes?


sorry dave, missed this. thanks for your kind words.

I usually do "day stuff." I also do a lot of camping in my truck, and "hide." I dont camp in the campgrounds but I do camp. . .

As for long term "backcountry" It's too much to take 40 lbs of phototraphy gear AND camping gear on your back. Also, if i'm in glacier park, I need a backcounty pass (to spend the night, also you have to use approved sites), i hate that and therefore I dont play that game. . .

I leave VERY early, and return VERY late, but have been known to weather a night here and there if it's not too cold.

Did you read my description of how I got these shots?

I do like the idea of being gone on a backcountry safri but cant afford to hire the stock and therefore I stick to my own feet for travel.
