Don't stop chasing your dreams, Evan. Soon you could have a family and those dreams will be temporarily on hold. Beautiful place and beautiful video. Keep them coming.
What a beautiful story of family and friends coming to your aid after having been robbed. That unselfish help made it possible for you to continue your trip and have the wonderful encounters with beautiful animals like Bonita!
I am so happy that you got the shot you were waiting for!! Incredible!! I can't make it out West this Spring /Summer so I am looking forward to watching your videos.
I just recently bought a Canon T7 specifically for the purpose of getting photos in Yellowstone on our trip in May 2023, figured I would get some practice before we actually go. Your channel has been very informative, and I'm glad I came across it, you can truly see your passion. No if I can get a fraction as good of photos as you get, I'll be happy.
I know how you feel man, but don't let them get to you. Great to see you made awesome shots anyway. I'm hoping to get back to Yellowstone and the Tetons someday...
Dream the shot, shoot the shot; congratulations, Wonderful picture sir! You have an amazing eye for composition as well as tack sharp photos. Your patients truly shows in your work. Enjoy your summer up there and looking forward to seeing your vlogs of your adventures in Yellowstone….
I have only just discovered your channel today, watching your recap of the flooding, then linking to this video. I, too, share your opinion that the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, including YNP, is the best place on this ole planet Earth! I first visited YNP over 70 years ago (not a typo!) Since my husband retired 8 years ago, we have traveled to YNP every year., first from Denver, now from the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state. May I also say that your videography/photography skills are remarkable! True talent! I am anticipating much pleasure in viewing all of your videos. Thank you for sharing. P.S. Alaska is my second favorite place on Earth!
Absolutely crazy adventure man! I only saw that one quick photo for some reason but I didn't realize how much they stole from you. That's awesome that the community rallied for you like that. Great stuff man and great moments you were able to have with the bears to close it out! So good you were able to get ahead of that crowd and path in that snowstorm and get those shots you were dreaming of!
Just started following you.. looking forward to your upcoming videos! Glad people came through for you after your stuff got picked. More good left in the world then bad!!
Very appealing vid (as are your others). One correction: Nebraska seemed flat to you because you drove through the state on a highway that largely lies within a river valley a few miles across. On either side of this valley is hillier land, including the spectacular Nebraska Sandhills, which occupy over a quarter of the state.
Yellowstone & Grand Teton NP is such an Amazing Place. We were there in Mid May for 10 days..Would definitely live to spend way more time there. When we're your video's made ?
Great video Evan and congratulations on you're photo it's amazing, I am sorry that those scumbags stole you're gear, but thank god it wasn't the camera gear, I myself have just got back from a week photographing in Scotland and was so worried about my gear in the car every time I needed to stop.
Thanks Tony! Yeah, that was my thought exactly. It sucked to lose the clothing but it could have been so much worse if they had gotten my camera gear instead, so I’m grateful it was just the clothes. Hope you had a good trip to Scotland 👍
@@wattswildlifephoto Trip was amazing thank you, see the wildlife I wanted but getting photos was very challenging, lets say Scotland is a beautiful place but the weather can be dreadful.
I’m so sorry that happened to you but wow your support group ❤ I just found your YT today and I am a fan now 😌😬 ps: that’s the best terrain and bears are my favorite
Man..you are amazing. I remember the first time i crossed the Wyoming state line. It was to go to Yellowstone. I was so excited. I’m from Italy. Good job. Really!
Wow, what a rollercoaster of a start! im glad everything got sorted out for you with clothes and everything! And congrats on that shot of the bear! its really something extra! I haven't seen every video yet but Im looking forward to! So maybe this question is answered in another video, but il ask it anyway. When you are in Yellowstone and photographing bears, how close will you go them by yourself? or how far in the "wild" do you go to photograph them? aren't you scared to be attacked? maybe their isn't a big chance of being attacked? Best regards from Sweden!
Brilliant vlog as usual, keep the faith in humanity thankfully it is only a very small percentage of individuals that are scum. Look forward to the next vlog 👍
Next question and comment what exactly are your doing with your photography\prints if you print stuff off . I myself have a photography wall I have created and what I am doing is eventually going to do a showing of my works . For the reason to get both good and bad critiques of my photos weather it be good or bad not that I care I'm just all about sharing my photography as an art . Keep shooting stay safe always young man .
Going to Yellowstone tomorrow then after that I will have 2 days in the Tetons cannot wait first ever time on a plane 10 hours from London to Seattle always wanted to do Wildlife Photography UK wildlife is amazing but I believe this will be a unique experience!
Sorry about that mishap hope they didnt get you Camera gear for wildlife Etc ... Hope ya can get some replacement stuff . But Camera gear would be devastating for sure .
Wanting to take a photo of a Grizzly Bear in Yellowstone while it's snowing. And then actually have that happen..... man you need to buy a lottery ticket. Nice job Mr.Watts!
I wish I would have known about the robbery, I saw you on the morning of May 15th in Colter Bay, I would have given you some money and bought you breakfast. I was realty excited to have met you.
Oh no worries, I really appreciate that though! Very kind of you. I remember meeting you! I apologize for the rushed meeting, I wish I had been able to talk with you for longer. There was a lot going on that morning and I didn’t have much time.
@@wattswildlifephoto no need to apologize, completely understandable in your situation. Maybe I'll run into you again sometime, I try to head to the Teton's every May and Yellowstone every September. Take care of yourself and keep those fantastic videos coming, your photography is fantastic, you definitely have a real gift.
May the fleas of a 1000 camels infest their arm pit (of the "thieves.") You are so blessed, if it was here in Los Angeles, they would of taken your life, truck down to your shoes and underwear. Camera and Lens Gone. Bonita is a great photo, Bonita is bonita.
Glad you got your stuff back. And so glad no photo equipment was taken!
Congrats on the Badger & Snow Bear 🐻 shots ! I enjoyed the vlog 😎
Thanks!!
Great job predicting where the bear was going to travel. Awesome shots!
Absolutely stunning photos and video. I’m based in New Zealand. Can’t wait to see yellow stone one day.
Tim
Don't stop chasing your dreams, Evan. Soon you could have a family and those dreams will be temporarily on hold. Beautiful place and beautiful video. Keep them coming.
Thank you! 🙏 I will keep them coming!
Amazing, you got the shot you been wanting to do.
I’m so sorry you got robbed.
Many blessings and keeping doing all these beautiful blogs and photos.
What a beautiful story of family and friends coming to your aid after having been robbed. That unselfish help made it possible for you to continue your trip and have the wonderful encounters with beautiful animals like Bonita!
Excellent! Hope your back at it and shooting YNP soon!
Awesome video! Your passion for wildlife is contagious!
Thanks!!
Loved the video - I agree, the Tetons and Yellowstone are the greatest. Looking forward to your photos from Yellowstone. Be safe!
Thank you I appreciate that. Yes they are, you just can’t beat them!
Great work, Evan! Hard to belive you get these shots with just a 100-400mm lens!
You’re a gifted storyteller - keep it up!
Thank you!! I will! 🙏🙏
Amazing pics brother! This vlog was great I wanted to keep watching and seeing more... 😍

I am so happy that you got the shot you were waiting for!! Incredible!! I can't make it out West this Spring /Summer so I am looking forward to watching your videos.

Thank you 🙏
Amazing shots and great video. I am glad you got the shot you have been waiting for 😊
Thanks! Glad you liked it.

I'm halfway into this video and lovin it. What lens are you using? When is the best time for lots of bear activity to photograph?
Great video Evan and congratulations on you're photo it's amazing, I am sorry that those scumbags stole you're gear, but thank god it wasn't the camera gear, I myself have just got back from a week photographing in Scotland and was so worried about my gear in the car every time I needed to stop.

Are you driving a Toyota? If so, I think I was sitting next to you shooting the grizzly in the snow.
Yes! I drive a white tundra
Sorry about that mishap hope they didnt get you Camera gear for wildlife Etc ...
Hope ya can get some replacement stuff . But Camera gear would be devastating for sure .
They did not thankfully! That would’ve been unimaginably awful…
Wanting to take a photo of a Grizzly Bear in Yellowstone while it's snowing. And then actually have that happen..... man you need to buy a lottery ticket. Nice job Mr.Watts!
Thanks! Yeah haha it was my lucky day that’s for sure!

Right!! I was disappointed about the clothes but so grateful my camera equipment was ok.

Is this not a beautiful and magnificent animal. We need to save every one we can. A lion conservationist.
I love this comment so much. Gives me hope 🙏 Thank you for watching.
