[@gregbalvin]

you've nailed the elk season

[@SteveMattheis]

It was hot and dry for sure but I managed a few keepers...

[@tonyweert3294]

that bull with the cows in front is CRAZY great.

[@LouisaLee63]

Otters make me smile too!

[@cesarm8811]

Again the snowy owl is my favorite...can't wait for the final 5.

[@SteveMattheis]

Great gray owl… 😬

[@davidkruschke4057]

Simply stunning, nothing else to say.
Greetings from Germany

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks!

[@peterschatz6093]

That’s not just Wildlife photography. That’s Wildlife Art! Amazing images!

[@SteveMattheis]

Thank you very much!

[@thomastuorto9929]

Agreed.

[@lynnecliffe3056]

"What more can you ask for?"- Tetons; peachy Elk; the Great Grey stepping out; holey otters slushing.😊

[@kathrynhall9920]

Fantastic shot of the Elk on your day out with Bill.

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks!

[@calrobinson7981]

Love the otters!

[@JenRitchiePhotography]

Beautiful images as usual - love them all, esp those cute owl feet 😊

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks Jen!

[@JeffandLeslie]

cool video. Love the Otters.

[@patkeen8668]

Love this format Steve. Hope you make this an annual event.

[@minerdave]

Love the strolling owl and otters! Both are great and have a special fun feeling to them.

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks!

[@jimeiden9561]

Your work shops are an amazing experience! So glad I was along for the foggy Elk! Such a great image that I have hanging on the wall.
Thanks again! Can’t wait for next time.

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks Jim I appreciate it!

[@georgemason2472]

Super shots!

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks!

[@shannonsnow8298]

Oh my goodness! Gorgeous photos especially that adorable GG Owl💛

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks!

[@antonoat]

Fantastic images, the owl on the log is so funny, just the way he’s captured, wonderful. Really enjoying this series Steve, what a year you had! 👏👍😀

[@BillFerris]

Steve, I'm really enjoying this series of videos. Thank you for sharing your favs with us. The clouds framing the Teton is wonderfully dramatic. I also really like the owl photo. The rim light on the bird, the smoothness of the fallen tree trunk, it just all adds up to a gorgeous shot.

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks!🙏

[@rickcaffee9690]

Beautiful shots! I hope to visit Yellowstone and the Tetons again. Thank you for sharing.

[@SteveMattheis]

Thanks for watching!

[@bryanenright9727]

Only 5 more photos to go !!!…. I’ll have to watch all the videos again. Every photo is amazing. The real task will be to ask you for your favourite out of all of them 😱.

[@SteveMattheis]

I refuse to answer...

[@lynnharrison8397]

Hello Steve. We watch and love every single one of your videos! How on earth did you look down on Grand Teton in your cloud enveloped shot? This photo enchants and confuses me.

[@SteveMattheis]

It was shot from ground level. The clouds just make it look that way

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

I really love the Tetons and the walking owl photos. Those birds have such long legs and their big heads make them front-heavy. Walking downhill must really be a challenge!
Was the elk group image a color photo, or a sepia-toned monochrome? I can't tell on my phone. Another great video!

[@SteveMattheis]

Color

[@jamesgolando8862]

Steve, just amazing images once again. I would love have just one of them in my portfolio! Were these captured handheld or tripod ?

[@SteveMattheis]

Both!

[@billbeverly2864]

Spectacular pictures, but I kept waiting for you to knock the glass of water off the table :)

[@SteveMattheis]

Ha! It survived without incident...

[@dougkrupa2372]

Excellent video Love the great Gray On the log. Do you ever shoot auto iso?

[@SteveMattheis]

Rarely and only when in manual mode.

[@davidroberts5535]

What kind, if any, noise reduction software are you using? Amazing photos!

[@SteveMattheis]

When I need it, I use Topaz Denoise.

[@valeriejh8926]

how about a giggle with the otters?😄

[@macimages4215]

Best set yet! You should think about becoming a professional. Haha

[@SteveMattheis]

Maybe someday...

[@Maple-fq8iw]

How about lens on Z9 now?

[@SteveMattheis]

yes

[@outdoorsinontario3037]

Fan f***ing tastic

[@SteveMattheis]

Well said. And thanks!
