Never give up, even when things are gloomy. This seems to be the enthusiastic motto of a group of eight BYU-Idaho students and their photography professor,
Caryn Esplin. My
workshop producer, Craig Wennersten, and I guided the group on a one-night workshop this past July in the Grand Teton National Park. Unfortunately, that single night was one of the most overcast and rainy nights I've even had in the Tetons. Despite the conditions, Craig and I kept on teaching, and they kept right on shooting—no matter what! Displayed here, are just a few of the photos that one student, Katelyn Crompton, managed to capture—images I wished I had taken, but my camera was in the car, staying dry.
In our regular 4-night workshops, the weather forecast for the week often shows at least one or two cloudy nights. However, our plan is to always go out and shoot, whatever the weather gives us. Almost invariably, conditions will change and allow us to shoot something unique and exciting. Remember, you cannot capture what's there—if you're not [there]!
