Mt. Moran Sunrise
Sorry I haven't posted much here lately... busy, busy, busy. I finally got out shooting this morning and was treated to a nice sunrise at Jackson Lake.

You can see a bigger version here, along with several other shots from the morning.

Thanks for looking!

Oh, btw: Canon 5D2 @ 113mm, two image stitch

Those are ALL really, really nice! Can you get to Jackson Lk by vehicle this time of year, or did you trek or snowmobile in?

That pano is freakin' amazing, Jack! All were nice but that one is truly a standout.

Nice backyard there, Jack! All sweet shots - the pano and Snake River images are killer.

Thanks fellas!

Todd - yes I was able to drive to the lake. The road is plowed to the Signal Mtn. campground. These were all taken right by the dam.

Jack, do you live in Wyoming now?

gorgeous shot, those warm colors contrast nicely with the bitter cold Mt. Moran.

Hi Chris - yes, I am living in Teton Village for the winter! I'll be back home in Ouray in May though. :toast:

Sweet, sweet, sweet. All of them are excellent.

Killer set, Jack--especially the pano!

Great collection Jack.

Real nice Jack. Love that first one also. Beautiful atmospheric conditions helped these images really stand out. Nice work!

Terrific, Jack! I agree with others that the pano is awesome, but I like the grasses quite a lot too.

Jack...amazing stuff.... you and that new 5D2 are coming up with some great images. Jack I am in love with the first image in the gallery and then the pano....and rest of them!! Awesome... :toast:

Really nice. That fog bank/low cloud really is the icing on the cake.

Looks like you are really having a terrible time in JH and probably cannot wait to get back behind a desk at home

:smile:

Outstanding work!
When I opened your gallery of images from that morning, the first one of the illuminated Mt. Moran just slapped me upside the head. :eek:
What a wonderful way to wake up!

I was sporadically checking out your blog and loved the snowboarding shots but the landscape stuff was what I was really waiting for, amazing!

What an absolutely gorgeous image - this area is one of my favorites especially for the sunrises! Fabulous job on this image, Jack. :toast:

Awesome shots, especially the first two of Moran!

Wow, am I jealous! Living in two awesome locations at the peak of each location's seasons is my dream! You are living the "Good Life"!!!
Posted by Joshua Hardin on December 29, 2009 at 12:58 PM
That pano is especially a jealousy-inducing image. Wish I was there for the winter. Nicely done.
Posted by Don George on December 29, 2009 at 1:09 PM
Excellent set of images looking forward to more. GTNP is one of my most favorite places.
Have you heard of or seen any wolves in the Refuge yet?
Posted by Michael Renner on December 29, 2009 at 4:50 PM
Wow - these are awesome Jack. The first 2 of Moran are my favorites as well. And I'm absolutely jealous of where you are for the winter...

You can hit sunrise photo ops in GTNP, head over to Jackson Hole for some turns on the board, and then be back in the park for sunset!

Sweet light especially in the pano. I also really like the river image. :toast:
Posted by Jesse Speer on December 30, 2009 at 12:21 PM
Great stuff Jack. Can't wait to get down there.
Posted by Guy Schmickle on December 30, 2009 at 2:34 PM
Talk about some sensational light! What a beauty. I envy you getting to spend the winter there.
Posted by Jeremy Kessler on January 11, 2010 at 12:42 AM
Jack this are all amazing, wish I would have caught them earlier. Great stuff!
