We got up at 4:45 AM in order to get to the spot, expecting to have to jockey with other photographers for position but, amazingly, we had the place to ourselves until about 7:00 AM, when various tourists showed up. Prior to that, while we were taking photos, a herd of buffalo came through, forcing us to climb into the Land Cruiser until they had passed by.

Larger versions of these photos are available in my gallery.

This shot is not the typical photograph of the Moulton Barn. I used my ultra wide lens and was fairly close to the barn. You can see that the grass is quite lush and green due to all the moisture that has been received in the area. The Teton range, which is much more prominent in real life than is depicted in this shot, seems to be very far away and somewhat small due to the wide angle of the lens, but I wanted a shot that wasn’t the generic Moulton Barn photo.

I had seen this fence to the north of the barn and found it interesting. I took several different shots from various vantage points but settled on this one. I think the clouds in the sky help make this shot more interesting.

This, more than any other, is the photo I was after on this trip. I wanted a panoramic photo of the Moulton Barn with the Tetons in the background. I took a couple of other pano series earlier in the morning but the lighting wasn’t as pleasing as this one, nor were the clouds as interesting. I like that the clouds are shrouding Grand Teton’s peak.
