Creating FAPOS at a National Park (Grand Teton)
Landscape and nature photography have always been my two favorite kinds of photography. On this trip to Grand Teton National Park, I was able to capture some amazing images of the scenery and some amazing moments with some animals. All of these animal nature shots came to be because of the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens for Nikon. It was a heavy lens to carry to capture the perfect FAPOS (Fine Art Photo Op Stops 2: “The process of searching for the best possible places and things to photograph…”) image. In the end, I always managed to hold still enough to get some fantastic nature shots of the animals. My landscape shots were a bit easier. All I really needed to capture the barn shot and the image at Jenny’s Lake was my camera and a tripod. Both photos seen below are a combination of at least three different images. This is what we call an HDR image or “Bracketing”. I took three pictures of the scene, each with different levels of light. This allowed the sky and the main scene to be perfectly balanced in lighting and texture when I combined them all together. This made for some fantastic landscape shots and really helped capture what the human eye sees when we look at beautiful scenes like this in person. Feel free to check out all my FAPOS landscape and nature photography below. Leave a comment too if you’d like!
