I was inspired by some of the other photographers at the retreat who were finding beauty in the textures of the landscape. I spent all week thinking how beautiful my rustic little cabin was, but it was not until the final day that I decided I should photograph it.
I love how a rodeo is truly fun for all ages. There were several things the kids could participate in, and the smiles on their faces were priceless.
Our very last photo session at the Wind River Photographers’ Retreat was at the Friday night Dubois Rodeo. I very much enjoyed shooting the girls barrel racing. They enjoyed the last bit of light before the sun set, and the looks of determination on their faces were so inspiring. Plus check out the details on the saddle blankets and bridles. They were the best-dressed horses of the night.
One morning we drove up to Union Pass, looking for wildlife. What I found, however, was this lovely reflection in a pond. I was really taken with the grasses that grew in it, and how they laid down on the surface of the water.
I loved how the light was beginning to shine through the trees at this location during a morning shoot at the Wind River Photographers’ Retreat this summer near Dubois, Wyoming. The air in this image is a little hazy with smoke from wildfires in California and Oregon.
One of our photoshoots during the Wind River Photographers’ Retreat was at a private horse ranch, and one of the young ranch hands was good enough to stand for a portrait session with Steamboat, the horse. It was another great opportunity to do some portrait work, and what surprised me was that it took quite a while to get a really good shot. I had to move around a bit, and it wasn’t until the very end that I liked the angle and the light I was getting. It was a good lesson to keep working at it if you’re not thrilled with what you are getting in a portrait. As long as the subject is willing, anyway. Thanks to Cody and Steamboat for hanging in there while we shot and shot and shot.
A family of osprey built this nest along the roadway, using everything they could find, including baling string, which you can see hanging down. On this particular day, we stopped to observe and found the two chicks in the nest.
Before long, one of the parents came along with this fish in its claws.
She hangs out for a few minutes, but doesn’t give up the fish. In fact, she flew away with it still in her claw. It was then we realized she was tempting the chicks to follow her in flight.
We watched as one chick did indeed fly after her, in a large circle, and came back to the nest.
All the while, the other parent had been sitting on this power post, watching, completely undeterred by the fake owls that I guess were put up to discourage nesting in this particular location.
The adult came back after a few minutes. The second chick wasn’t quite as brave, but did flap its wings and hover above the nest for a few seconds. Two days later we drove past again and they had all left.
