The bluebird shots stole the show!

[@annmarie3520]

I love your videos! The nature, the scenery, so calming to me. Thank you!❤

[@themountainwanderer]

Wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. What you can get out of a few hours in the park is just incredible. I'd be happy with even one comparable photo out of a whole day.

[@lcador9]

How many times have your best laid plans not worked out? Don't you love it when they do! It is a blue bird moment. Excellent video.

[@akountreegal]

Your videos are always wonderful...so enjoy your talks as well...Thank you for sharing your part of the world..

[@billcubitt9456]

Excellent Steve. Beautiful Bluebird photos.

[@gregalbrechsten9209]

Cool. Three different age classes of Eagles. Love that spot for the subadults.

[@maryh3878]

Always enjoy your videos. Thank you

[@bobbramley2879]

The Bluebird shots are really nice!

[@paranihiaanaru4414]

Wonderful. Thank you

[@donnaridgway2558]

I can't for the life of me figure out how you manage to carry so many cameras, lenses, and vlog at the same time. Then to edit the video is so time consuming. It's amazing to me that you are willing to do this for us to watch because it can't be easy. And you are so good natured about it all. :) Thank you. I never get tired of your videos, great grey owls or whatever you post. It's all good.

[@SteveMattheis]

Yep, it ain’t easy… thanks for watching 👍

[@mikecrowley6485]

Great to see these videos always Steve, the great selection of Animals and beautiful Scenery I could never get tired of seeing. 👍🏻

[@BayouJosh]

Lovely video Steve. good to see ya

[@lizcoakley4730]

Beautiful Steve ❤️

[@mustafakasapoglu]

Thanks for the great footage.

[@jeffreymonk9987]

I loved how you started todays video driving through downtown Jackson Hole, then transitioning us to the beautiful sights and wonders of the Tetons!! What a great way to start my Monday.... Thanks for sharing Steve

[@janenuse1051]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to learn how to use my camera. This is inspiring.

[@AgeofRogerio]

Awesome shots. First time seeing your channel. Thanks for sharing.

[@ridealongwithrandy]

Awesome video, awesome photography and chit chat. What I do when I drive is I strip off the audio of 50s sci fi movies that I pretty much have memorized, and listen to them when I drive, same for old radio shows too. Slows me down. Down here in eastern San Diego county we do not have the big crits you have, but I did manage to track down the Big Horn Sheep here! Cheers!

[@shaddring]

Amazing work as always. Appreciate you sharing with us

[@KevinNordstrom]

Great to see you back Steve. The bluebirds are such beautiful birds. Also the abstract shot is also lovely. Cheers.

[@DeeDeeDIY]

Yay! A new video! Thanks so much.

[@scottg9208]

Always enjoy your videos, Steve!

[@minerdave]

Missed your stuff but glad you’re back. Loved the osprey against the Teton background. Nothing more rewarding than a morning drive along the Tetons. Keep ‘‘em coming!

[@crittaker]

Thanks for bringing us along...love your videos and photography. The quality is superb.

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Wonderful morning out Steve! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@naturallyadriftphotoadvent123]

Yay, you got your blue bird! Love Grand Teton. I was out this morning photographing Hawks , Orioles and warblers by a stream when my son pretending to be my teacher announced we were going on a field trip to Grand Teton! Hopefully someday we can return and for more than just a few days. I was so excited to see another vlog pop up, thanks so much!

[@bradzaruba9686]

This is loaded with beautiful images. Great to have you back!

[@markattardo]

Enjoyed the ride along, the video clips and the photos.👍👍

[@curtlewis3446]

Love the video Steve. Good to see ya back. My favorite sequence was the osprey clutching the fish with the Tetons in the background. Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@iangel23]

Just miss the Tetons so much!!! Good to see them at least on video! ❤️

[@brianmurphy2932]

Hi Steve, I always enjoy your videos. Wish I was there. Great to see you putting out a blog again.

[@sallyleavitt131]

Another awesome video Steve! I’m working my way across country from Maine. Will be visiting a bunch of the western national parks . Can’t wait to see some of the places in your videos. Really looking forward to seeing and photographing the animals and landscape of the Tetons!

[@cesarm8811]

Steve great to have you back…great video has always. Looking forward to your next video.

[@j.kimmer1509]

Wow, amazing images... blown away. You must make it look so easy, cozy and luxurious. Thank you for the images.

[@davidsherman3462]

Great video!

[@ErwinChung]

Awesome bluebird landing photo!!!

[@tomfranic]

Beautiful video, photos, nature 🥂

[@brucegraner5901]

Glad to see you back on the Tube. I really liked the bluebird images.

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Hey Steve, awesome video! That bluebird landing shot in particular was epic. And great meeting you the other day at that bear jam in the snow! 👍

[@bluejays5660]

Great video, makes me even more excited to make my first trip to Yellowstone and Tetons in 2 weeks! Part of my bucket list. Hopefully the wildlife will be cooperative and put on a good show for me.

[@calicobra69]

It was nice meeting you out by the moose in the Tetons the other day! This is a great video!!

[@mtnmotiv5612]

im really missing living in west yelly i moved to slc last august and feeling stuck but headed to Alaska in one week so excited to photograph whales and other wildlife! Im still terrible but you inspire me to be great! youre positivity is contagious!

[@simonbriggs8053]

Nice vlog Steve. Your videos are just a breath of fresh air and really missed seeing any for a while. What a beautiful area and vast array of wildlife you have near you. I'm in Shropshire UK and a little limited on what we see here. Anyway keep them vlogs coming as its a great way for me to start the morning before heading out into the Shropshire hills walking up Caer Caradoc and The Lawley as can get beautiful views and hope to capture Red Kite in flight and hunting amongst the rabbit burrows...

[@charlesdavis6371]

good stuff .. ty, I enjoyed it.

[@515capncrunch]

Great timing on this video Steve as I’m anxiously anticipating my first visit to your backyard in 50 years! I’ve been revisiting many of your videos scouting for our trip which will include a couple days around the Tetons before a week in Yellowstone park. I wish it was a photography centered trip, however it’s my wife’s first time to the parks so I will have to mold my photo opportunities around her needs to see the “obligatory” sites. Wish me luck. Do you have a gallery or suggestion of places to visit as we stop in Jackson? Love your work and always look forward to your new videos.

[@themountainwanderer]

I'd say the 'obligatory stuff' presents opportunities as well and it's always fun to see the parks with a first timer. Most people are not prepared for the sheer beauty and dramatic landscapes they'll encounter. Just try to manage around the crowds, early or late in the day is great.

[@natureflixs1]

Good stuff and well done.

[@stevethompson8154]

Awesome Bluebird shots

[@davidbirminghamjr.2600]

My wife said if I go buy that Z9 camera body and that 400/ F2.8 lens she will leave me. I'm going to miss her.... :^)

[@flippinrawks]

Amazing captures and thanks for posting the settings. I never go over 2000 shutter and need to pump it up some. If I had to pick a favorite 14:39 & 18:20

[@loganchaseluke]

Fun book.

[@robverduyn6541]

Great video Steve great to see you again. I was just wondering it might be hard to do and I don't want to take anything away from your client(s) but (always a "but" in there ) I would love to see a behind the scenes / How you do your workshops. Just my two cents and again nice video.

[@rerolley]

I like the Kestrel shots. We have a thing for them.

[@mikeanderson9957]

another great video. Ever think of doing any when you take people out for your one on one sessions? ( I am thinking of signing up one day when I am up that way again)

[@thomaskolceski4282]

Hi Steve, this was an awesome video. I really enjoyed it! What more could one ask for: antelope, elk, bison, grizzly bear, eagles, ospreys, hawks and blue bird all in a matter of a couple of hours! You’re really blessed to have that on your doorstep. Btw- the bluebird photos were outstanding! Keep the videos coming!

[@MeAMuse]

Great audio book! Any other recommendations? I have been struggling to find something else.

[@robinyarrington]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! as always Steve!!! What software do you use to edit your videos?

[@debbiebarnes-shankster6870]

I really enjoy your videos Steve! I hope one day to scrape the $$ together to take a workshop with you. I do a lot of bird and wildlife photography but nothing like your beautiful work. I am curious how you did a video and photos of the Mountain Bluebird landing on the branch. Did you just wait for it to land 2 different times or somehow take the photos out of the video footage?

[@SteveMattheis]

Yes I waited for it to land two times👍

[@timwmoore2133]

Love the Park in the Spring. My favorite image from this day were the lady elk. They looked so curious! Perhaps you were having post Africa syndrome prior to this day back home. Your Africa photos blew me away. I would love to do a half day with you this year. But my health may not allow me to travel to Wyoming this year. Maybe I could pay for a time slot now, and if I couldn’t make it, perhaps you know a young photographer in Jackson who would benefit from the time spent with you. Just dreaming away my days in bed with this sciatic pain…

[@davidburchettephotography6513]

It worked out 😉

[@ridealongwithrandy]

Question to ya, I do dash cams with my YT channel, and am wondering what camera and especially the mount that you use. Cheers!

[@markloh4896]

Steve what brand model mic you had on top of the Z9?

[@kilik92]

Do you prefer the Z9+400 over the Sony A1 + 400GM ?

[@grantking4681]

Steve, did I miss something? Did you ever put up any videos from your African trip, I remember the vid about the gear you were taking but I can't remember seeing anything about the trip.

[@SteveMattheis]

Not yet...

[@andycoleman2708]

Do you ever have issues with the difference in temperature between your car and the outside making your pictures soft? Or do you just unroll the windows to keep it all the same?

[@johnd746]

Disappointed you haven't done a video of your trip to Africa.

[@arnoldvanharmelen5381]

Hi Steve, I was wondering what's up with the sharpness of your photo's and your video? It all seems a little soft and unsharp, very unlike you! Was there a problem with the equipment?

[@finals_clips224]

My moms boyfriend met you I think in the west idk but he took a few photos of you and his name is Chris

[@amranackerman9656]

Next time just get a Wolf ----- !!
