On the last day of Boot Camp, we once again drove into the east entrance of Glacier, looking for both moose and bear. We had seen a moose and calf a couple of days ago but it was too dark in the early morning for photography.  We also had reports of bear activity in the area.  Our class got split up on the road and while my group drove aimlessly around, the other group of folks spotted the moose and calf and later on also spotted a Black Bear.  It was frustrating for my group to have missed out on this wildlife but there is always something to photograph at Glacier.

Even if they aren’t as big as a moose or bear, the park’s chipmunks are good subjects for photography.

The days are long in Montana at this time of year, with sunrise around 5:20AM and sunset around 9:20PM. The long daylight allows photographers to shoot a lot images in a day.  Even after sunset, the photographs continue.  It was a great workshop with Moose Peterson, his wife Sharon and son Jake.  The Wildlife Photographer Base Camp is a highly recommended experience.
