Easter Weekend

Over the Easter Long Weekend, I has lucky enough to hang out with some friends in Beautiful Big Sky Montana. Our Weekend started off with an amazing Helicopter ride, a Pie run by private plane and then finishing off with some fly fishing on the Bitterroot River. After stuffing our faces with some amazing Easter food and PIE, we finished off our Sunday evening with some target shooting and beer drinking!!! It was really an amazing weekend and I don't know how we will ever top it again.

Here are some sample shots from our "BEST WEEKEND EVER"!!!

Big Sky Fall Fall is one of the best times to be in Montana. The trees are slowly turning, the weather is generally favorable and the day-by-day lighting is a photographers dream. I started my trip off with a little trout fishing in Holter Lake. The lake is a incredible intricate lake; one that Lewis and Clark navigated on their way through the State. I was fortunate enough to see some beautiful Big Horn Sheep, Antelope and lots of deer like usual. Most of the shots are taken with a Nikon D800 or a Nikon D600. The animal shots are with a 300mm 2.8 1.7x Tele convertor.

The largest Trout I have ever caught! Beautiful Rainbow Trout!
