(Yellowstone) Officials from Yellowstone reached out Saturday to remind photographers how to safely get the best shots of the many wildlife encounters that can occur in the park, such as grizzlies and wolves fighting over food sources.
The first step in capturing the moment, according to the park, is to zoom with the camera lens, not your feet. Park rules are to keep a distance of 100 yards from bears and wolves, and 25 yards from all other wildlife.
While some of Yellowstone’s wildlife can withstand crossing through geothermal features, humans cannot. It’s important to stay on the boardwalk and behind fences to capture any pictures as boiling water is often just below the thin surface.
