Living in Our Van Photographing Wildlife in Yellowstone NP

TRansition at 1:14 or so... from dumping the toilet to pouring breakfast beverage... PRICELESS!!!

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Haha, oops! 😉

[@Najim1958]

I'm no language expert, but I believe that's an example of JUXTAPOSITION... and a damned good and funny one!

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😂

[@connielopez6254]

Exactly what I was thinking, especially the thick brown liquid 😂

[@alexmendoza2178]

I live in the Yellowstone area but still great to watch your videos and watch you learn wildlife photography

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Glad you're enjoying them Alex! Thanks for watching!

[@markwilkins9048]

Love the way the Fox stay on alert and play at the same time. Eyes in one direction, ears listening in the opposite direction.

[@kaydeandkatrina]

I agree! It's so cool to watch how aware of their surroundings they are!

[@collectGenX]

Some great shots, thanks for sharing the journey

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Appreciate that, thanks for watching!

[@sampeep2527]

[@kaydeandkatrina]

We appreciate that Josh! Thanks for watching 👍

[@adventuresforthecurious]

Just found your channel and I love it already! The video was full of gorgeous photos, the look into your daily routine was well done (I honestly didn't think twice about the toilet and coffee transition.) and you two have such a calm manner that I am definitely a fan! New subscriber and off to watch more of your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Hey, thank you so much for the nice comment! We really appreciate it 🙂

[@andycoleman2708]

WHO is in charge of editing?! A cut from dumping your toilet to coffee pouring?!!! :)

[@kaydeandkatrina]

I was wondering if anyone would catch that! 😉

[@tonette9532]

😂

[@chiliverde66]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@chiliverde66]

And at first I was like why are they showing this and then realized it wasn’t what I thought lol

[@kaydeandkatrina]

[@tpsh38]

I'm watching and you're welcome. Really enjoying your channel.

Amazing video!

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Thanks! 👍

[@amypaulson3205]

Great video! Love the wildlife. My favorites are Goldie fox and the kits. ❤

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Those were our favorites too. So amazing to see! 😊

[@tayen]

solid video. A+

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Hey, thanks! 🙂

[@Red-Robin4]

I love watching your video the animals are so beautiful to watch. I will never understand how people can kill them.

[@kaydeandkatrina]

We really appreciate that Robin! They truly are amazing animals.

[@marciapearson3635]

Best video yet!!!

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Wow, that is really nice feedback! Thank you!

Beautiful photography ty

Thanks very much!

[@cwgner1270]

This was the best!! I felt like I was there!!❤

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Then we accomplished our goal! We're glad you liked it!

[@lvmtb]

Great video love the photos

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Thank you very much!

[@montananorthern]

Love the video guys. I just subscribed so looking forward to your travels and hope to see you out in the field. BTW...the cut from dumping the toilet to pouring coffee almost made me 🤮.

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Thanks very much Thomas! Hope to see you out there as well! Haha, Katrina noticed that in the edit but I didn't. Once she explained it to me I HAD to leave it in! 😂

[@petertellone7665]

Something that really could improve your channel is if, instead of handholding your long shots you were mounted to a tripod or at least a monopod. I realize they are expensive and a Pita BUT , if the wildlife is truly the focus of your channel you should present them at their finest and not have the Ocean Wave effect (seasick) of the little back and fourth and up and down you get when you handhold at 500mm. Just a thought to bring good to really good or great and yes it will also improve your stills sharpness. Just a thought from an old guy

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Thanks for the advice Peter! We're just getting into wildlife photography so this is all new to us. We will take what you said into consideration!

[@petertellone7665]

@@kaydeandkatrina I know you are just starting out and you are doing great. But you'll be surprised how much the little things count on long shots. Keep it up, I just subscribed :)

[@mikebreazeale2563]

I love the brown bears...we sat one day for over an hour watching them in a park in S. Dakota a month ago or so. They look just like to ones you have been showing...not sure but I have never seen a grizzly bear yet. We are coming out that way again sometime soon and I can't wait. Have fun! Thanks for sharing...Peace

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Hey Mike, thanks for watching! We hope your trip out this way goes well!

[@RS-gl9ht]

Wonderful photography thank you!

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Thank you very much!

[@pamelairvine-pearson4719]

My Mom loves the bear photo. She was even m I re excited to find out you were the photographer ❤❤

[@kaydeandkatrina]

That's great to hear! 🙂

[@brianmyers4444]

Really enjoyed both your recent Yellowstone videos. Having visited and photographed wildlife there multiple times, can you tell me the name of the trail you hiked where you observed the badgers? Thanks and keep doing what your doing, it’s very well done.

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Thank you very much Brian! I believe it's called the Lamar Valley trail, or something like that!

[@kvfrank]

Love your videos. I've been to Grand Teton Nat'l Park, for a photo workshop and loved the scenery and animals. I'm curious, what gear do you shoot with? I shoot Nikon's and the largest lens is a 200-400 F/4G ED VR and the results are amazing. Planning a trip up to Glacier, then Yellowstone, then Grand Teton and back home. Keep up the good work.

[@kaydeandkatrina]

That's awesome! Our long lens is the Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 F mount lens. We've only had it for about 2 months but we love it so far! That sounds like an incredible trip. We're actually in Glacier right now filming another video. We appreciate the comment!

[@SoothingNatureByaamir]

Well done guys

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@garybromberger4044]

hey guys . . . really enjoyed your videos and photos . . . I photographed the same kits in Cooke City on May 23 . . . there are actually 7 or 8 . . . I was curious what camera and lens you were using . . . I am assuming the videos were taken with the same camera as the photos . . . I took my kit photos using my samsung s21 attached to my swarovski spotting scope . . . they turned out great . . . however, I haven't purchased a camera in 25 years . . . at that time I was photographing the Druid Peak Pack alongside Rick McIntyre . . . time goes by . . . too fast!

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Thanks Gary! That's so cool! Yes, we shot everything on the same camera. We used a Nikon Z50 and a Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 F mount lens for all of the wildlife shots.

[@johnlong4335]

Where about did you find a roadside spot to camp in Yellowstone? I thought one always had to be in a designated campground. Really enjoyed your video. Think I’d rather be in Yellowstone than anywhere else on earth

[@kaydeandkatrina]

We actually camped outside of the National Park on a forest service road. I believe you're right, there is no dispersed camping within the park. Thanks very much for watching John! Yellowstone is one of our favorite places as well!

[@lehighcap]

Where are you camping overnights?

[@kaydeandkatrina]

We were up on a forest road outside of Cooke City, MT. Great access to Lamar Valley!

[@idowanna837]

Look into a gym membership for showering. Like 24 hr fitness. But be aware, not ALL 24 hr fitnesses are open 24 hrs

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Thanks for the tip! We've thought about gym memberships, but we're usually not in big enough towns for that to be worth it for us. Our camp shower and random $5 showers have been working for us so far!

[@davereimer2604]

ditto to another person that mentioned using a tripod or at least rest the camera on a bean bag for better video. Love Yellowstone.

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Thanks! Check out our most recent videos to see if we've improved 😉

[@szczeparadom]

hi what lens do you have sigma 150~600?

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Hey! We use the Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 F mount lens adapted to a Z6ii or a Z50

[@derekdestep40]

Yourchannel is amazingly

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Thank you Derek!

[@Ericbjohnston5150]

Time to invest in a 1200 lens if you got canon gear. Jk. Its 20000 American dollars. But you will get that distant shot.

[@kaydeandkatrina]

Our used 200-500mm is serving us just fine so far!
