Early morning photographers catch the early moose
Saturday morning came early for me last week. I woke up at 4am to meet up with other photographers from Photowalk Utah. We were going to be photogaphing the Albion Basin up past Alta Ski Lodge in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Starbucks isn’t even open that early in the morning.
And during the photographing we found a moose – some other photographers came across a mother moose and her calf. Moose are big and you don’t want to scare or threaten them – they can be mean. This moose is only the second I have ever seen in nature.
It is time for breakfast
Photographing nature is completely different than portraiture – you live and die by your tripod. And I had brought my large tripod. I should have gone with my carbon fiber tripod. Oh, and I should have brought my gloves – at 5 am in the mountains it was pretty cold. My hands were numb.
