miles_hecker Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I've created a Grand Teton online Photo Map to aid photographersheaded to Grand Teton National Park. It has the most common photolocations listed along with season, time, film and equipment suggestions.<P>Hope this is helpful.. more will added as time permits.<P>See it at <A HREF="http://wyofoto.com/Teton_Photo_Map.htm">http://wyofoto.com/Teton_Photo_Map.htm</a>.

chuck Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 That's great. A boon to the quick tripper who wants to take some pictures. I've been thinking about doing something similar for Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequia NPs. It took me about 14 trips to Yosemite before I sniffed out some favorite photo spots.<p> You have plans to to do this for other national parks?

valerie Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Terrific work, Miles, and very valuable. Plus, I have to admit that I was impressed by the little rotating cameras! *laugh* I wasn't aware of the info on mountain goats and bears, so I've made sure to bookmark it. BTW, I've also heard that marmots and pikas can be photographed on the trail on the farside of Jenny Lake, and the small marsh at the nature center in Jackson is excellent for photographing goldenheaded blackbirds, violet-green swallows, and coots, as well as nests for goldenheaded blackbirds, and baby coots (this was in early June, I believe). Thanks again for all of your work; I hope others with information to share, and with the talent to create these websites, are inspired to do the same.

ellis_vener_photography Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Thanks Miles IThat is so helpful. I am headed there in late May for my honeymoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_gillette Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Late May? Taking pictures? OK. Oxbow Bend is a great place for pictures. Nice place to lock keys in a car too! But slow for locksmiths (no my mother and dad)! Having been there in late May, it's a great time. You might also check the happenings in Jackson, the summer activities are getting started by then as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_ashton Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Miles that's a very good concept! Question, where did you get the map from? I would like to use a similar style map for a web page on Big Bend NP but all the ones I could use are copyrighted. I have been thinking about making my own map in Illustrator.

miles_hecker Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 The base map was originally down loaded from the NPS Grand Teton web sight. No copyright statement could be seen. I think there are similar maps at other NPS sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug herr Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Thanks Miles. I'll be in the area for a couple weeks in June so this will be very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Nice map; I changed the URL to a link as well. Should show the brand name in those little camera symbols though, so we have something to argue about. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
