I Spent 3 Months Photographing Wildlife in Yellowstone

[@randy.ingersoll.yellowstone]

Best 28 minutes of my week. Thank you for all your work putting this video together, and all your work filming and photographing and researching this special ecosystem.

[@wattswildlifephoto]

It makes me happy to know that you got so much out of this video Randy. Thank you for the constant support my friend. 🙏

[@VHangout]

This exactly!

[@dawnparker9884]

I love Raspberry! HopefullyE is will have a cub this spring 😊

[@gkassociates7112]

I've made several trips to Alaska just for the brown bear photography. It will become addicting as the bear are bigger and of course the country is definitely more isolated. It was rare that we ever encountered people, you'll love it I'm sure, assuming its your first trip.

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Yes it will be my first trip! I’m definitely very excited, I’ve heard nothing but great things about the bear photography up there.

[@oneshotisallineed]

I would love to win that trip with you to Alaska! Great Video as well!

Beautiful video to the last second 👍👍👍

[@marcoyc2012]

I was in the park and leave right before the park shut down, luckiest week of the year and Yellowstone is a great national park and we should protect it and promote the importance of nature at all cost. Thank you so much for this great video.

[@Magellan678]

So happy I stumbled across your channel! Love your work and photography

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

[@jesss7930]

Jam looks so little when she’s up close! Thank you so much for these videos, I’m watching all of them to try and learn how to know where to find wildlife photo opportunities while being aware and respectful before making my first trip to Yellowstone in September.

[@uptown3636]

As an aspiring macro and nature photographer, I really appreciate your obvious love of your subjects. For many, it’s only about the final image, but the work often seems sterile without true devotion to the subject matter. Thank you for sharing these moments with us-it touched me deeply.

[@wattswildlifephoto]

I’m glad you got so much out of this video. Thank you for watching, and for your kind words and support.

[@izzygauthier]

SUCH a great video, you have quite the eye for wildlife! I can't wait to go back someday!

[@MohamedSaadat]

What started off as a random video to watch while having my breakfast, turned out to be the best 28 mins of the day, if not week! I was in YS last weekend and I should have watched this video before I went! Thanks for the quality content, man! I’m subscribing to your channel right away😁

[@martinjdesmond]

Great video. It is nice to see a video by someone who is working in Yellowstone National Park and understands the wildlife.

[@Maverick_Samrat]

There are many wildlife photographers, but few tell it the way you do. Love it.

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Thank you, I appreciate that so much. I’m glad you enjoy the videos :)

[@dychui]

I feel like I’m there with you when I watch your videos. Keep up the amazing work.

[@wattswildlifephoto]

That is exactly the feeling I want viewers to have, so that’s great to hear! Thanks!

[@dychui]

@@wattswildlifephoto absolutely ! I’m a photographer in the Yosemite area, if you ever come out there let me know and we can hang out :) chuiphoto is my website

[@thesaint1517]

I was there two weeks before the flood and I was lucky to capture quite a bit of wildlife in the park. Tried to the Tetons but was not so lucky. After visiting quite a few parks, Yellowstone is by far the most rich in wildlife and spectacular scenery. Really enjoyed your video!

[@judybennett6444]

I just found your channel, and I'm happy I did! My husband and I love the Titons. We've not been able to make it back for several years due to our daughters health, but we're ready to go back. I'm an artist and have wonderful photos of fall wildlife from there, some of which I've painted. I really enjoyed this vid and your love of all things wildlife. How fortunate you are to be able to persue your passion. Love from Oregon!

[@joshadkins7445]

This is my dream job I would wake up every day excited about work

[@HusbandnWifeDuo]

Love from Ontario, Canada! This is the best channel we have found on wildlife of Yellowstone National Park or elsewhere. We have watched your few videos on our TV's youtube feature and on that screen, your work comes out loud and clear. My husband is a hiker and he captures wildlife and landscape shots, but your videos are on an entirely different level. YNP is on our bucket list, but logistics are difficult. Keep it up.

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Thank you, I greatly appreciate the kind words and am glad you all enjoy the content! Good luck making it out to Yellowstone one day, it is a truly special place, definitely worth the visit! :)

[@stephfran9761]

Thank you for the wonderful video it was as if I had returned to Yellowstone. This year from late November into October I spent 10 days in Yellowstone. The last time I visited I was 9yo and it was as amazing as I had remembered. I managed to get some great footage and will never forget all my experiences while there.

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Thank you, I am glad you got that out of it and that you had such a great trip to the park!

[@1wolfgirl300]

I lived and worked in the park the year Raspberry kicked out Snow. That year taught me so much about the park. I only wish I had been more skilled in my photography at the time. Excellent captures and clips, I hope you had an amazing season!

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Thank you!! That must’ve been an interesting year to be there! I’ve heard they hazed Snow a lot that year because she wouldn’t say off the roads…

[@thegarveys]

Awesome video Evan. Incredible footage. My wife and I worked in Yellowstone at the Old Faithful Inn back in 2013. We didn't have our own camera equipment yet, but we were able to rent a camera from our college for the summer. Unfortunately it was a big bulky broadcast camera, but a camera none the less. Thanks for sharing, looks like you really made the best of your time in the park.

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Thank you! It’s an awesome experience working in the park isn’t it? I bet that was the summer of a lifetime. I’m glad you enjoyed, thanks again for watching!

[@thegarveys]

@@wattswildlifephoto Yes it was definitely was an experience of a lifetime. Enjoy your time at MSU as well! I subbed, looking forward to future videos!

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Damn glad KZbin algorithm finally decided to push this to me

[@CodyCarr]

Beautiful video! You showed up in my recommended section and had to watch. I’m more of a videographer rather then photographer but I’m seeing your doing a lot of video out of that long lens. What lens are you using in this video? It’s massive! I would love to invest in one but I know they get pricey. Again, awesome video! Great story telling! I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure with you! I think it’s awesome you get to experience this place on a daily basis

[@davidschultz628]

Well done Evan ! I enjoy how you document your time in YNP & share all your photos & videos with us. Keep it going 😎

That Alaska trip sounds like a dream. I have always wanted to go there more than anywhere else on earth. I'm a fairly novice photographer, but photographing national parks has been my favorite.

An excellent video and great representation of all the wildlife in Yellowstone. It only makes me want to go there even more. Thanks for sharing your experiences and I look forward to your next video.

Loved this video, brought tons of great memories as I also worked there at the lake area, I miss raspberry and jam, but most importantly, I miss the friendships made along the way and all the great memories made in that park this summer, I’ll forever have a deep appreciation for Yellowstone thank you for making this video.

[@wattswildlifephoto]

Thanks man! I’m glad it brought back the memories. I know exactly the feelings you’re talking about, there’s truly nothing quite like working in Yellowstone :) I’ve made some of my very best friends and very best memories these past 2 summers, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

[@stephencooper5155]

That bear encounter is awesome. Almost every other clips is like 12 people stopped by the road with long lenses and it just makes the park look so touristy and full of NPCs. Your gut instinct and knowledge was rewarded with a genuine interraction.

[@BeefNEggs057]

What about people wanting to see things they’ve never seen makes them NPCs? I think it makes them human and curious. At least it isn’t a wreck they’re rubber necking at for once. Now that’s NPC behavior 100%. I’m sure the locals get hardened to the beauty of the wildlife but that is truly what an NPC is in my book. A person surrounded by beauty and so crusty they can’t even see it.

[@ploopy8780]

@@BeefNEggs057 No it's really fuckin annoying my man. People getting super close to animals they shouldn't and putting the animals in danger of being shot. We need a better system to deal with people going into national parks. I don't mind if someone gets gored by a bison, I care if the bison gets shot because of it.
