Double Rainbow!!!! Mind blown.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Mind blown, I wept for hours.

[@randyschwager2515]

I watch 6-8 photography videos each and every day. You are in my top 3 favorites. I love your style, personality, and your photography! Thanks for taking me along!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

What!....I'm not #1....but top 3...sigh, I gotta work harder. jk, What a compliment!! HUGE thank you! That means a lot. I only hope to get better. As long as I don't burn out :)

[@billantonacci4441]

Hi Matt, these images are flat out. Terrific job well done.

[@Trish12303]

You are in one of my favorite places!! I love that whole area between the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone NP. Beautiful images!!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

I can't get enough of this place! I visited Yellowstone years ago and it was a short visit. Do you prefer Yellowstone NP over The Grand Teton NP? My favourite is the Grand Tetons but I'm curious what others think. Thanks for watching!

[@Trish12303]

⁠That’s a hard question to answer. They are both spectacular places. However, if I had to choose one, it would be the Tetons. But Yellowstone runs a very close second. 🙂

[@brandt_bennett]

Can’t wait for more of these. Grand Teton National Park is such a fun place!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it! Grand Teton National Park is indeed a treasure. Stay tuned for more, there's plenty more beauty to share!

[@rogertwilley8305]

Thanks, for sharing love this one!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

My pleasure! Happy to hear it and thank you for watching! Cheers

[@Sandra-qy7rf]

Awesome weather. Not always the best for camping but if you are set up, you remain warm and dry while capturing some amazing moments.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Totally. You can't get the best sunsets without clouds.

[@rdphoto3]

Some really fantastic photography Matt.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching, cheers

Awesome stuff! Thanks!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

You are very welcome, thanks for watching!

[@rocketmanab]

Gorgeous shots.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you! I realized I forgot to add the last telephoto image of the barn at the end. It was a good on in my opinion. Dang it, next video I suppose 😎

[@guymatson7731]

Loved your video. The Teton are one of my favorites.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you! I can see why, what a place!

[@chipsrafferty8362]

Just spent 1 week in the Tetons,magical place,slow wildlife but an abundance of landscape opps.Nice work.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Oh nice! Was it busy during your stay? A full week is a good amount of time. A few days is too short IMO

[@victorlim5077]

The Image @ 18.15min is so beautiful. Great video, Matt.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you. Did you mean 8 mins 15sec or at 15min mark?

[@victorlim5077]

​​@@MattShannonPhotoOops. 18mins 15s mark. My bad. Corrected it.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

@@victorlim5077 Nice! I thought you mean't that one. What a cool moment that was when I turned around and say the heavens open up. I forgot to include the last barn image I was talking about in the video, but at least I added that one lol.

[@stevearita3267]

Great video, beautiful photographs!

So breathing. Just awesome. You do great pictures and you explain to us, that may never be able to see all this beauty. Thank you so much for taking time to share. It is amazing

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled to be able to capture and share the beauty of these places with you. Your appreciation means a lot!

[@sheliaglenn9770]

@@MattShannonPhoto thank you so much

[@sheliaglenn9770]

This means a lot, coming from an expertise . You show and explain every move you can to get the exact right place to capture what you want, and to show your fans. This is fabulous.

Great, informative video. I'll be in the Grand Tetons this week, so this was very helpful. Thank you!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Happy to hear it! Enjoy your trip!

[@Alanbravofotografo]

Stunning work my friend, loved ❤

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Vlaakster]

I'm heading out to Grand Teton soon for a workshop and I was searching YT for ideas when I came across this video. Fantastic shots man! I really like your presentation style too. I'm looking forward to exploring the rest of your channel. Keep up the good work!

[@WhoDareChillYouN]

Beautiful

[@onlyvideoillupload]

Shout out to the Jeep, getting it done!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

totally! Needed new tires for the ride home, but now the jeep is ready for the heavy snow!

[@lontrucker44]

I just found your channel, I will subscribe. Thanks for all the beautiful images

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Welcome to the channel, thanks for subscribing. Thanks for the compliments to my work :)

[@MovingToAdventure]

great video and channel! I hope to learn more about photography! Also, I love the tetons!

[@19Photographer76]

Great job Matt! I'm thinking you wanted to wait for more snow (on the return).

[@MattShannonPhoto]

You are correct. Some years you time it perfectly but this time on my return trip it didn’t snow. At least not where I was traveling.

[@djordjenovakovic9409]

Nice lifestyle bro, whole family is here, that's awesome. Keep with great work 👍

[@danielattias1525]

Good job Mate.

[@MrTmiket0007]

Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always Matt, I am so happy that I am returning home to Canada, keep up with the awesome content 🐦👍

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Welcome back! Happy to hear you liked it and I wish you all the best on your travels!

[@johns6290]

I have shot that barn with 80 other photographers. It was an experience and we had smoke filled skies

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Wow, during the summertime I'm assuming yes? 80 is a lot! Was it a good experience, bad or just a wild experience dealing with all of that?

[@johns6290]

@@MattShannonPhoto it was not bad really I got there at 5 am and was the second one there to claim my spot. It was cold though but everyone was having a good time and I met a few good photographers too. I was about where you were when the sun came up and then people left and I went over to behind the little bridge over the swale to the left of the barn and shot higher there. It was very smokey and the mountains could barely be seen.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

@@johns6290 My lungs are burning just hearing that the mountains couldn't be seen. I've photographed a lot in smoke and sometimes it can be a blessing. Some of my Black and White images in the smoke look really cool. like fog really. The smoke also creates a long lasting sunset....so that can be neat. Glad you still had a good time!

[@pat_unit]

Breathtaking pictures, nature is crazy beautiful, greetings from Germany!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thanks for watching and the great compliment all the way from Germany! Cheers

[@stbailey1234]

I taking a photo trip with my son in late September. We'll be visiting Yellowstone and then the Grand Teton National Parks. When you talk about compression what is the combination to make the mountains look like they are right behind the barns and not far away?

[@MattShannonPhoto]

To get compression, you need to use a longer focal length. In a lot of my landscape photos where there is compression showing the mountains right up behind me, or right up behind my subject like a barn, I use my 70-200mm lens.

[@brianlemke6017]

Ah yes, Twin Falls, the site of Evel Knievel’s fateful 1974 jump of the Snake River. That 70-200mm 2.8 is one of my favorite lenses, surprisingly useful for landscapes. Your video took me back to September last year where my wife treated me to a guided two day wildlife photography workshop in GTNP. Fantastic, but some of those honey pot locations like the Moulton Barns or the Oxbow are difficult to shoot with the hordes of photographers just like you and me. But the Tetons and Yellowstone are sure worth the trip.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

I completely agree about the 70-200mm 2.8 - it's a versatile lens with surprising capabilities for landscapes. Your wildlife photography workshop in GTNP sounds like an incredible experience! Dealing with crowds at popular spots is a challenge, but the beauty of the Tetons and Yellowstone definitely makes it worthwhile. I met a lot of photographers during my time in the national parks. tried to make the best of it. Showing up super early is a good idea.

[@rcgrant9310]

Matt, Thank you for sharing the beautiful images from your Grand Teton Mountain trip. Great Video! Do you sell your 'Trek - West' clothing items, as I've never come across clothing listed? Also, have you created a video of how you set up your Jeep for multi-day camping trips? THANK YOU!!!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

I started Trek West years ago. I rigged up my Jeep to take clients on private sessions to remote locations here in British Columbia (Mostly Vancouver Island). We travel to giant trees, waterfalls in caves, hidden gems really. I use to have a clothing line of Trek West swag on the side. Hoodies, hats, t-shirt....etc. I didn't want to spread myself thin so I stopped designing TrekWest clothing. I might start it up at some point since there is more and more an interest in it. I have some clothing: hats, hoodies and toques left. Yes, I plan on releasing a Jeep Setup episode of all my gear. I love the way it is set up right now. Thanks for asking and stay tuned!

[@robertgrant1509]

Matt, I’d love a couple TrekWest ball caps & T-shirts, if I can purchase. Looking forward to the Jeep setup episode.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Ok, I will have to see what I have in the vault lol. Could you send me an email to [e-mail]. That way I can share what size and the price of what I have.

[@Rajesh_Ycd_Official]

Awesome Dude 😮❤

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you! 🙋‍♂️😃

[@reidnorthrup2688]

Great video Matt. Love the Tetons. I saw several photos shot at f/4. Were you stacking a series of shots to get the sharpness? Why stack at f/4 vs. f/11, supposedly the sharper aperture on most cameras?

[@richardfink7666]

The photo of the barn reflected in the water is great.P.S.: Isn`t it possible to stich the photos together in the camera?

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Glad you liked them, thank you! I know you can overlay images in camera but I’m not sure about stitching images together. Most drones have a stitch image option for panos, but I’ll have to do a bit of research on the newer cameras. Great question though.

[@AdventuresInMyBronco]

What was the name of the campground you stayed at @ 7 min mark?

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Gros Ventre Campground

[@jonstout7635]

Great work Matt! Those roads brought back great memories for me. We lived in Idaho Falls and I could see the Tetons from where I worked, turn around, and then see Craters of the Moon off in the other direction. A month alone with camping gear would allow me time to shoot about everything that catches my attention. Some of my favorite photos of my children were taken in the Tetons with beautiful blue water. I look forward to seeing what you have to share next.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thanks so much! Your memories sound amazing, especially with the Tetons and Craters of the Moon as your backdrop. Excited to share more with you soon! Back to wildlife in my next video I think. This place has everything to offer.

[@rontopp]

Go grab a coffee at Dutch and hit the road. You’re only a few hours from Jackson, I believe.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Jackson is only a stone's throw away! We didn't spend too much time there but it looks like a nice place to stay.

[@SummitForWellness]

You said when you bracket photos you are shooting at 20fps, how many photos are you combining for your brackets? Also I wanted to see what photo you took at the end with the 70-200 but you never showed it 😂
