    It is always great to see you out taking photos. It isn't always exciting but it is still entertaining!! Thanks for sharing with us Steve.

    Photography and Nature combined can be an unbelievable stress reliever. So you’re totally right about just enjoying the time out in nature and not stressing over getting the perfect photo every time. Great video Steve 👍🏻

    Another great video showing what we go through. Spent 10 hours a day , for several days , watching a Sandhill crane nest. Ended up missing hatch, but got shots of 1 hour old chicks. All about patience. I find it therapeutic. 😊

    Wise philosophy for a great place to be mentally and physically.

    Cool shot Steve! Thanks for letting us tag along. The ability to make the "one photo" in that area is a bit more fun. The prospective critters are so great! Keep up the great work!

    Some thoughts on your “boring video” statement at 7:40ish…Verbalizing your thought processes and seeing someone of your caliber at work is as exciting if not more exciting than cool wildlife interactions. As a beginner, I admittedly use CZcams as a parasocial mentorship since I’ve not found many people locally that can guide me, so the times where we get to see what goes on in your head is always really good for my creativity and building my skills. The sequences of decision-making, throughout the video, but especially with the crane, was more entertaining than videos with large sequences of b-roll in my opinion. I also love your words of wisdom at the end of most videos. Just my thoughts, so take them as you wish, but I found this video really entertaining!

    The important thing is to go out breath clean air, enjoy nature and of you are able to shoot a nice photo, that’s a bonus!

    Just being in a place like that is a blessing. When you live in or at least close to great nature you tend to take it for granted. I have to keep reminding myself that most people looking at my photos are city dwellers who have to take a considerable trip somewhere to just see a deer.

    The Tetons are always so beautiful! Snow on the ground with the colorful sandhill cranes against a dark background really made the images come alive! I like the way that you emphasized the importance of the background in choosing your composition.

    I saw a few Cranes yesterday up near Seeley Lake (close to Missoula), Montana. I always enjoy watching them. For some reason they are always up that way in the spring.

    In the 90s I worked for a golf company. I played a lot of golf. If you have never played, it can be a frustrating game. Someone that worked there said “it’s that one good shot” (that keeps you coming back). Meaning on those bad days, you are out there screwing up, then you hit that one shot of the day that says “you can do it.” I compare the same to my photography. I am out there, I’ll fire off hundreds of crap photos. My goal is to bring back five photos that I don’t despise. Three that are okay. One that I like. It is that one good shot.

    Nice. I am reminded of a project by Jim Brandenburg that resulted in his book "Chased by the light". He challenged himself to take 1 photo a day for 90 days in a row. He was in northern Minnesota. It proved to be a challenge, but the resulting book was interesting and enjoyable.

    I think the wildlife scene in the video is preferable to watch more than a self talk

    Gen AI will solve your bush issue, but its always good to get it wright in camera if possible. Enjoyed your outing, if nothing happens, which can happen at times, it's just great being out there... Recharges the battery so to speak. Keep clicking !!

    Sandhill Cranes we have in Florida are not afraid of people. You could have stepped out to the car for the shot without the snow block.

    • @SteveMattheis

      They are typically quite skittish here, maybe it’s because it’s mating season?

    Where can we purchase the thing you put your camera on in the car? Don’t know what you call it off the top of my head lol.

  • @ScrimshawPhotography

    I think at the end of the day I probably take like 10-20 good photos a year. And that's out of thousands. Everybody wants to get those 10/10 banger shots every single day but that's just not how it goes. The really good photos come in split second moments that require the right combination of light, composition, and just plain old luck. You can't force magic to happen in photography.

    I think that point on Moose Wilson rd was where we saw a mother and calf moose feeding on the side of the hill right below that parking area a couple years ago when I was there.
