Row of Resting Bison in Yellowstone National Park

Bison rest lined up in the snow near the Tower Junction in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

This past weekend I discovered just how hard photographing bison in snow when the sun in shining really can be. It’s a delicate balance of not underexposing to compensate for the bright snow, while also making sure not to overexpose to bring out the detail in their dark fur. Many came out ok though, such as this one of a row of sleeping bison.

Free Roaming Photography, Photography by Mike Cavaroc, is my portfolio and vision of the natural world. As a nature and wildlife photographer, I am striving to reach the angles of landscapes that haven't been documented before as well as finding the dramatic nature of wildlife in its natural state.

Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I thoroughly explore the wonders of Grand Teton National Park and its surrounding areas, including the Gros Ventre Wilderness, Yellowstone National Park and much more.
