A BEAR!
by Ben
As a family we hadn’t seen a bear yet since moving to Montana. I saw 4 last summer, 1 driving home from Bridger, one driving out Fairy lake road, 1 hiking in the Spanish peaks (a cub and we didn’t see mom!!!) and one driving through YNP too far away with too short a lens. […]

The Great One!
by Ben
Went for a hike today, Fairy lake to Sacajawea to Naya Nuki then skied the great one. I brought the 200-600 with me which is a first for me (bringing the real camera skiing, especially BC skiing with a long hike). I did it hoping to see a few goats and I was not disappointed!

Sony 200-600mm review
by Ben
I finally picked up a sony 200-600mm. Since moving to Montana and this lens getting announced I’ve felt like it’s the lens for wildlife photography. I’ve been considering one for a long time but finally bit the bullet, sold the 100-400 and got one! I didn’t own them both at the same time so I […]

Bald Eagle
by Ben
Took the kids for a “forced field trip” yesterday. We found this guy/gal hanging out on top of a tree. It was one of two eagles we found.

Long Lenses
by Ben
Long lenses have always been something I’ve used in my photography. When I first got a film body in the 90s I had a 70-300mm variant. I’ve since gone through four camera systems (canon, nikon, canon again, fuji and now sony). On each system I’ve had a long lens of some sort. They basically fall […]

Long Lens Fun!
by Ben
I was invited to actually surf today. Instead I took the camera along and had some fun but stayed warm and dry! I’m working on a Sony 200-600mm review but figured I’d share 4 images from today. I’ve got a ton more surging images to edit but figured I’d get one done tonight. Enjoy.

100 Consecutive Ski Days!
by Ben
I skied 100 consecutive days this past winter. Not a 100 day season, (yes I got that too, I’m at 143 days on the season as I write this in May and 31 consecutive months) but 100 consecutive days. I did this by becoming a ski instructor at Bridger this past winter. I worked there […]
