The Story of Three Dog Light Photography

Scott Copeland has been photographing nature since he learned to use a camera 20 years ago - a Nikon FE2 with a 50mm f1.4 lens. While that makes him a relative newcomer compared to some photographers, he has been blessed with many opportunities to experience the natural world. Those experiences helped to focus his interest, and hone his skills.

Scott lives in Lander, Wyoming which is nestled up against the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming's heartland. Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and several wilderness areas are an easy day trip from there. When possible, he is out photographing. That means when he's not doing his day job or taking care of his young twin girls. He and his wife love to travel, which explains the photos from Katmai, the Yukon, and Patagonia. Scott uses Nikon camera equipment, including a D3x, his latest toy.

The Three Dog Light studio is a digital darkroom at home with an Epson R2400 and 7600 printer. Both are setup to use Ultrachrome inks with the matte black ink. All prints are on premium matte papers because these papers produce the best, most consistent results compared to glossy papers.
