Here are some photos taken in Grand Teton National Park back in late September/early October.

The rattlesnake photos were taken near the Tensas River NWR

I've got photography workshops in the Tetons set up for next year in the spring, fall, and early winter. The workshops are mostly field based, with a focus on improving photography, learning how to anticipate what an animal will do so you can get a better composed shot, and learning how to shoot in different lighting conditions.

In addition to that I'm stating to book for private safari tours in the Tetons and Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. These private safari tours will be for up to three people, either half day or full day, and tailored towards their goals. For example, if they just want someone to guide them through the park to find wildlife, I'll plan the trip around that trying to get to some of the off the beaten path places. If a photographer just wants someone to get them out to try and find specific animal we'll base everything around that, or it could be someone who wants to learn more about wildlife photography so the safari will be geared towards that.

Those are great photos as always! Really enjoy your photos. Think I’m going to check out the Tetons in late winter this year. Just a heads up on the link you provided you have the full day tour listed as a half day. Not a big deal but I thought you might want to be aware of it.

Thanks, correcting it now.

Funny how you can miss obvious things like that when you’re reading and rereading things to make sure they’re correct

Yes, for the photo with the rainbow I had a CPL filter on. I tried taking the shot without it, but the colors just seemed flat.

I'm pretty sure this shot was taken with the CPL filter also, I really don't remember if it was on or not though.

Figured. Cpls really make the colors in a rainbow pop.

Thanks for clarifying. With a wide-angle shot like this and an evenly toned sky with the sun about 45° off axis (max polarization at 90 deg to the sun), indicates to me that a CPL wasn’t used (but I could be wrong). A CPL would usually create some uneven polarization or banding across the sky at what I'm guessing the focal length to be (24-35ish mm.) It would be darker from right to left and its not. I've ruined many wide angle landscape shots by using a cpl that way (this one is NOT that!) That's why I thought 2 stop gnd vs cpl.

Great shot. I've skied the canyon (granite) just out of the frame to the left.
