In my opinion, you do a great job of being informative about where to photograph and what equipment to use. Like no other! Thank you!

[@DonMammoserPhoto]

Hi pliccut, thanks for the comment, we appreciate it. We'll be putting more videos up, they just take lots of time. Appreciate you taking the time to watch.

[@mitchconn7712]

Thank you for the great information.

[@overwatchxrescue]

You definitely raise a great point about how the suddenness of the mountains rising up from the plains without any foothills in between makes for a very dramatic contrast. Grand Teton is quite a gorgeous park for sure!

[@perryelliott6766]

Fantastic video Don and Ana! Exactly what I was looking for this morning. Planning a trip next year and you've helped shave off a tremendous amount of planning time! Your photos are excellent. Keep more coming. Not many do this type of video and you two nailed it.

[@DonMammoserPhoto]

Hi Perry, Thanks for watching. Positive comments like yours really help as these videos take a ton of work and effort to produce. We've got a whole list of places...it simply takes time. I hope all your light is magic!

String lake is a great place to take children to use their kayaks, paddle boards, etc. The lake is small, with many areas to picnic. Bear Boxes are provided at the waters edge to store your food while you are enjoying the lake.

Hi Raahul, Milky Way might not be super visible then but the night sky can still be great. I'd go to Schwabacher's landing for that.

[@myalias111]

Thank you so much Don and Ana. What beautiful shots and footage. I’m an avid landscape photographer but have such a difficult time choosing locations when I only have a couple of days in an area. I’ll be in GTNP next month and this video just saved me so much research. I haven’t clicked the link yet, but see you offer tours. I’ll definitely check it out. I adore workshops. Thanks

[@DonMammoserPhoto]

Hi VPLNY, Thank you for taking the time to watch and we always appreciate comments, good or bad. Glad you liked the video and I do hope your visit to the Tetons is awesome. Hard to go wrong there...it's beautiful and one of our favorite places. Email me anytime if you have questions about a tour.

How to get great photos with a smart phone and for early sept

[@1209jayt]

Great shots! What lens mainly can I bring for that park? Thanks!

[@DonMammoserPhoto]

Hi Jay, I answered your other comment too. And for this park I think the best lens (if only bringing 1) to have would be a 28-200mm or something like that. If you could get and bring a 3 lens kit, I'd recommend a wide 17-40mm, the 28-200mm and a wildlife 150-500mm.

[@1209jayt]

@@DonMammoserPhoto oh thank u so kindly. Yeah I saw the other one, thanks! And thank u for your advice about the lens to pack. I’ve been eyeing the tamron 28-200 for my A7iv and so glad I saw your video. Do you think if I bring that lens to Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai at night will perform ok? Thanks!

[@DonMammoserPhoto]

@@1209jayt Hi Jay, well I wouldn't consider the all-in-one lenses to be perfect for nighttime shooting. They can be ok if using a tripod in those low light situations but none of them are super fast for hand holding at night.

[@1209jayt]

@@DonMammoserPhoto thanks for the info, great help! 🥂

[@1209jayt]

@@DonMammoserPhoto Don since you’re very good of giving advice, what type of lens to shoot from above the building at night for skyscrapers? Thank u for your help.

[@colesbackyardcoop]

Hello from FL. This video was awesome and very informative. I'm an amateur photographer and I capture some great nature shots just using my cell phone. In the future I want to buy professional camera equipment using the recommendations as a guide. We are visiting Jackson WY next week. Staying for 5 days. We will drive 191 and I hope we can get some great shots at the locations you outlined. Will there still be some fall foliage? Hopefully. I do see some snow on the ground and mountains. It should be beautiful for pics. I definitely want to visit those old barns. Thanks for sharing!

[@DonMammoserPhoto]

Hi Cole, have fun in the Tetons. While I don't think there will be any fall color left this late, the locations are still gorgeous and the moose should be around with huge antlers this time of year. Thanks for watching and for the nice comment.

[@janechen6573]

Hi Don, we are going in mid-August. Will we still see the waterfall and snow on the peaks? Which month was this video recorded?

[@DonMammoserPhoto]

Hi, mid-August is pretty late for any snow to remain on the peaks. While not impossible it won't be much. The waterfall will be much smaller than it could be and there won't be many remaining flowers. Most of the videos in our presentation were made in June or July. Still, those mountains are really gorgeous no matter what...just get out there early in the mornings.
