Subscribed..Love your work..!

[@Nature_Wild_And_Free]

Beautiful Images. Awesome!

[@scarface1961]

Really liked the elk images. Just wondering which exposure worked the best?

[@KieranLehaneJ]

Lovely photos!

[@SteveMattheis]

Thank you!

[@owenbale]

Some nice shots of the elk. Not many do good backlit shots, well done Steve. It is a skill i started to practice more this year as well.

[@SteveMattheis]

True, it is difficult but fun!

[@findus605]

Great video and some really nice shots Steve as usual 👍👍👍👍

[@SteveMattheis]

Thank you 🙏

[@travisb.8005]

Hi Steve! Love all the videos. Is that shooting rest that you use on the window something you had custom made or is it something ready made? Do you like it?

[@SteveMattheis]

Check out the link in the description to see the gear I use, it’s in there...

[@KngsPwn4]

Hey Steve...are you shooting on Aperture priority in this video??

[@2013cajunsmokey]

Thanks for all the good videos you make, and all the tips, it's a beautiful place, love it. Can hardly wait until we sit on the plane for our holiday in Teaton and Yellowstone.

[@SteveMattheis]

You’re welcome, thanks for watching!

[@johndunlop5194]

Another great vlog Steve keep them coming :-D

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks!

[@erikperusek4652]

Wow man..beautifull pictures! :)

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks!

[@isar-wildlife]

Stunning picture @7:44 Steve! More of it, please.

[@SteveMattheis]

Yep, that’s my favorite from the day too...

[@old4004]

When I go to what I think is your channel, Steve, there is only one video shown. Thanks for having so much fun!

[@willnotbetracked8222]

Old400 Click on videos at the top of the page to see all Steves videos. You are on the home page.

[@old4004]

Thanks WB. Must be something wrong at this end. When I go to the Steve Mattheis channel that I have always used, there is only one video. But now when I search for him I get the full channel. Strange.

[@old4004]

Now I understand what you were saying, WB........sorry to be so slow.

[@willnotbetracked8222]

Old400 No problem! Hope you enjoy Steves videos now! 😀👍🇬🇧

[@ramiromorales123456]

Great videos Steve! My goal is to capture a shot of a bear & your videos have really inspire me a lot. Keep up the great work!!

[@SteveMattheis]

Excellent, good luck out there!

[@christopherwood1668]

Great work, as always! What lens did you have on for the fox photos? That one where its close to the water and theres a reflection is beautiful, just wish it was closer to see the details of the fox. Great work though, love all the silhouette / Golden elk shots!

[@SteveMattheis]

I shot that photo with a 100-400mm at 400mm

[@dunbar0191]

Love your videos. Just the type of photography I like. Going to Grand Tenton this year and can't wait. Keep the videos going! Question tho, do you get many chances to photo either bald eagles or otters and Tenton ?Stephen From Belfast N.Ireland.

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks for watching! I’d say I see bald eagles fairly regularly but not very often in good photographic situations. I see otters a handful of time per year and love photographing them whenever I have the chance.

[@TrumpetsFTW123]

Really like the one at 7:25, nice work

[@SteveMattheis]

Thank you!

[@MikSwePhoto]

Great video! I just found your youtube channel and find it very interesting. I think I must go to your area in the US sometime in the future to take wildlife and landscape photos. If it comes to that maybe I will contact you for more tips of places to go, if thats ok with you :-)

[@SteveMattheis]

Cool, thanks for watching!

[@ianbrown704]

Steve if it wasn't for the solid bean bag you would struggle :)

[@SteveMattheis]

It’s worth it’s weight in gold?

[@willnotbetracked8222]

Steve, do you use back button focusing?

[@SteveMattheis]

Absolutely.
