Last night’s sunset on the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge was nothing short of spectacular, at least in my opinion that is.
And as luck would have it, I found myself in the vicinity of the bird refuge late in the evening yesterday and noticed a perfect amount of clouds hanging over Promontory Mountain.
I was admittedly quite unprepared for this unexpected but most welcomed sunset and even though I didn’t have one of my DSLR cameras with me, the photographer within opted to go photograph the sunset anyways with just my phone.
I will say if I had my choice I would rather use a DSLR camera and a tripod for sunset photography but with how advanced the cameras are becoming in today’s smartphones, they are quite capable of taking a great sunset image as you can see.
All of the sunset images on this particular blog post, in fact, are from last night and were taken with my phone so you can plainly see, smartphones can take great sunset pictures.

Well, they can with a little know-how and that leads me to the next part of this blog post.
Yesterday’s conversation with Andi Ford from the Friends of the Bear River Refuge organization has led to the potential for our free outdoor photography classes to once again be held at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge visitors center now that the covid restrictions are over.
The details for the classes are still in the works but there is a possibility that one to three free outdoor photography classes will be held early in 2023 during the months of January, February, and March.
In years past, I taught a 2-hour Beginning Outdoor Photography class on their annual Swan Day event, typically held on the second Saturday of March.
This year it is possible there might be some kind of photography class offered at each of their second-Saturday events during those three months.
More information will be made available here on my blog when all the details are worked out so I suggest heading over to my subscribe page and signing up for email notifications for future blog posts to keep informed about the classes.
You can also subscribe to and follow our YouTube channel as well to stay informed as I plan on doing a short video update when all the details are worked out.
Space for these classes will be limited to available seating at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge visitors center so don’t forget to follow our website and YouTube channel for future posts containing the information and link regarding where and when to sign up for the free photography class.
Lastly, we really do appreciate your readership and support for our website and would like to mention two ways you can help our website continue to grow and our free photography classes continued to be offered, by purchasing some of our apparel and gifts and by sharing our posts with others who also are interested in nature.
