My historical vacation photos on film always ended up . . . as the backsides of deer. My first visit to Yosemite seemed to be image after image of deer butts. I had my first “real” film camera, a Canon A-1 (which I still have and is really beat up) and no idea how to use it. Or how to frame. Or anything. It was as annoying as hell, and I walked away from photography until the Nikon Hit Man loaned me his D70 years ago. Since then, I’ve returned to film, considerably more adept at avoiding deer butts than in the past.
I am not sure where this was taken in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, but I really liked the field of wildflowers, the edge of pine, and then the Tetons rising up from the valley floor. If I can, one day I want to spend more time truly exploring this area and hiking along the trails – possibly even higher up than we were.
I used the Olympus OM-1n, Cinestill 50, Olympus 35-70mm lens, and the Pakon to scan. This is a pano of 2 or 3 images stitched together in LR with some post.
Oh wow, great photo and one that I have seen before, not quite the same, but in a book my Mum had. I used it to paint a picture of them for her, with the flowers in the foreground, she loved it and it now hangs on my wall here. That patch of snow half way down on the left hand side mountains is still there 20 years on!
The Tetons are just iconic – glad you like the photo! I think it’s hard to take a bad one of them. 😎
