    Author

    Jerry Patterson

    I'm a landscape photographer, workshop guide/instructor and ebook author. I conduct yearly workshops in the Teton Mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming (USA) and in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah (USA). In addition to group photography workshops, I conduct private 1-on-1 photography workshops or smaller 2-3 person workshops.During my photography workshops, I take my group out at night to photograph the Milky Way. In these workshops I conduct two to three Photoshop and Lightroom Milky Way post processing sessions so you may learn how to really make the Milky Way pop in your photos. This also includes classroom instruction on stacking Milky Way images with Starry Landscape Stacker for the Mac and Sequator for the PC.I'm the author of three ebooks 1) "Grand Teton National Park - A Photographer's Site Shooting Guide 1" 2) "Arches National Park - A Photographer's Site Shooting Guide I" and 3) "A Photographer's Milky Way Processing Guide - A Photoshop Howto."In these photography shooting guides, I make extensive use of Google satellite map marker where for each site in the ebook I have an associated photo. The reader simply clicks on any photo and the web browser immediately opens the webpage for the Google satellite map marker whereby the reader may easily see the exact site I stood for the photo but more importantly see the road system to the exact site.In July 2013 I participated in the millennial celebration of the historic Moulton Barns in Jackson Hole, WY (USA) by donating two 24x36 inch canvas prints for auction for the preservation of these two barns.Locally, in my current home town, I provide presentations of my Jackson Hole photos from time to time to the photography club and also Photoshop & Lightroom Milky Way post processing.Best of luck and thanks for your interest in my ebooks.__________________________________________Note to all purchasing my ebook on processing Milky Way night sky photos.In October 2022 I will be working on a second ebook with much more advanced Photoshop and Lightroom Milky Way post processing techniques with more examples and of course step-by-step instructions so please check my Smashwords page around January 2023 to be among the first to obtain this ebook.

      Preface

      In November of 2011, this ebook was first published under the title Jackson Hole, WY - A Photographer's Shooting Guide.

      Since then I have been back in Jackson Hole no less than six times and have taken photos from many, many additional sites, a lot from off the beaten path, different trails and various lakes which are rarely visited by the usual tourist or photographer who visits Jackson Hole. As a result of those visits, I have acquired so many additional photos from sites with great views of the Tetons from sunrise to sunset and from spring to the fall that I have decided to add some of those photos to this ebook and thereby give the reader more info on a visit to Jackson Hole and give me more room in ebook 2 of the same title.

      Because of the additional photos from additional sites taken from 2012 to 2014, I have decided to update and expanded the original ebook and rename it to Grand Teton National Park - A Photographer's Site Shooting Guide 1. As the title implies, an ebook of the same name but guide 2 will be out and I plan to publish it in early 2015 with a possible shooting guide 3 should ebook 2 go over 10 megabytes which is the maximum size Smashwords.com will accept with compressed graphics.

      After ebook 2 is published, I also plan to write another ebook solely on great sites to shoot various wildflowers throughout Jackson Hole to include lupine, Indian Paint Brush, the ubiquitous balsamroot, mule ear and eggs and butter to name a few.

      You could pay upwards of 600+ dollars for a tour guide to take you throughout Jackson Hole, WY or you could save those hundreds of dollars and with this ebook and ebook 2, once it is published, have the most comprehensive photography site guide ebook for Jackson Hole over anyone else who may also have one on the same topic. And this is coming from one who leads/conducts two full three day sunrise to sunset photo shoot adventure tours in Jackson Hole each year. I certainly can take you to the best sites but so can this ebook and soon ebook 2 of the same title.

      So enjoy this updated ebook and its new sites and info I have added to it.

      Beginnings

      Just about everyone has a story about how they discovered a place which they fell in love with. For some it was early in life via their parents and for others these areas were discovered later from what they read or saw or while doing their own thing with their friends and for some the areas were discovered from just following and living their passion.

      I want to take you back to one winter day in January or February of 1989. I was at home watching a black & white western on the weekend. The movie was near its end as the main character was making his escape from an Indian attack. His escape was floating down a swift moving river on a hastily assembled raft.

      Soon he passes along the river where I see the silhouettes of the dark mountains in the distant background after the sun had passed behind them. I remember saying, wow, where is that ?!! I had to watch the credits.

      After what seemed forever, I had my answer. Teton National Park, Jackson Hole, Wyoming scrolled by and my first reaction was that I had to go there. As the movie finally came to an end, I called my buddy and told him we have to go to this place I just saw on TV, not knowing that at the time a friend of his had moved to Kelly just north of Jackson, WY three years earlier.

      That spring we made our flight reservations for Jackson and stayed there from September 10 through the 22nd. And the rest is history.

      Introduction

      First, let me say that when you fly into Jackson, WY, find out during the flight to Jackson if they will be landing north-to-south. If they are, you want a window seat on the left as you enter the plane. This way you'll be in awe when you see the Tetons out your window when making the approach for landing.

      The Teton mountain range is directly north of Jackson. Below you see a winter shot of both the town of Jackson and the Tetons in the distance. Not very large is it?

      With regard to this ebook, by Tetons I mean the entire range of mountains in the Teton Range from the Grand Teton, to Mt. Owen, Teewinot, Mt. Saint John, Rockefeller Peak, Mt. Woodring and Mt. Moran which, as described, run south to north as one faces the Tetons.

      South | ————— Teton Range ———————————— | North —>

      As one uses this guide and drives north out of Jackson, WY along Rt. 191, the main road in and out of Jackson, looking out the driver's side window, this mountain range will always be visible. Route 191/89 will be your main road of orientation almost no matter where you are.

      This guide will take you to all the must-shoot locations; the ones you have already seen pictures of and said about 500 oh, my gosh to and then to many more that people are not aware of. And it is the latter that will heighten your sense of adventure as you explore and drive to photo locations as this ebook offers so many different views of the Tetons where often you'll have the view all to yourself.

      As a result, this guide will best serve the widest range of people visiting Jackson Hole from the tourist with a point-and-shoot camera to the die-hard professionals with all their DSLRs, expensive tripods, crazy lenses and a hand full of different circular and GND/ND filters. Almost all locations are a matter of just driving up to, pulling over and walking a short distance. A few will require a short five to ten minute walk and a few involving lakes may require a 20-35 minute easy hike like Phelps, Taggart and Leigh Lakes.

      Google Satellite Map Markers

      In this ebook I make extensive use of location map markers inside Google Satellite. This is a real cool tool with which I can better show you the exact location from which these scenic shots were taken.

      How do they work? If you are using an e-reader, using an iPad or other touch screen device, to include a smart phone, all you have to do is click or tap on the photo, any photo. That's it. Although not a photo, click on the word Triangle X Ranch overlooks to test this functionality in your browser.

      You will immediately be taken to the internet to the Google satellite view of this location. At this point you may switch between satellite or map view by clicking their respective buttons on the top right of the Google map You may then click on the + or -
