Awe inspiring photo Jared. What a great example of the steppingoutside the box theme of your just published post. Way to take a risk! The exhaled breath is the kicker as to the degree of coldness. Then the warm tones of the setting sun off the water remind us that there is hope for Spring is surely on its way!

Absolutely stunning photo Jared. I was drawn to the fantastic contrasts of light and dark even when I stood back and viewed it from a distance. One could imagine this same appearance in some landscapes from 35,000 feet maybe. Incredible that from up in the air our world has no apparent borders also.

Unfortunatly its a common thread these day. If you spend any time photographing in the high key areas like the Smokies or Yellowstone you will get this a lot. These days when I am photographing in the Cades Cove, if I can see the deer from the main road, I don’t bringing out my gear as inevitably I will end up with people shooting over my shoulder, or worse yet, walking past and in front of me to get “the shot” only run the deer off.

Last year while photographing in Jackson Hole I was working with a sand hill crane that had a colt (what the baby cranes are called) when I guy slammed on brakes and came running over to me. He was bobbing his head all around me trying to figure out what I was shooting, when I told him it was a crane. He jumps back and says, “who gives a f*** about a d*** bird?” and then gets back in his car with his family saying something about it being a stupid bird. fun fun.

How strange that supposed pro photographers, out there with you, are apparently much more concerned with “The Shot” than the well being of the birds they are there shooting. I hope they are reading your posts and recognize themselves!
I have had similar experiences while in northern Michigan and the upper penninsula; people approaching wildlife areas as if they are going to a petting zoo. Loud talking, smoking cigarettes, slamming doors, etc. They have even approached my wife and I as we are low crawling for a better vantage and loudly ask,”…So where are the elk – I don’t see no elk…”

Jared, Great photos and nice article! It is disturbing that well-meaning “nature” photographers don’t understand the survival battle of their subjects. Best regards, JR

Its all about putting your subjects at ease first. When working with these seal pups, laying down in the sand not only puts you on eye level with the seals, but it also relaxes them and allows you as a photographer to begin capturing natural behavior instead of the nervous energy that they usually are filled with when people are around.
