Viedma

Not the scene that comes to mind when one thinks of Patagonia. No sheer granite spires and majestic mountains, but because of the ever-present winds, you will find some of the most fascinating clouds formations anywhere. Sometimes, it even coincides with some incredible light.

Katmai 2012!

Starting today, Ian Plant and myself will begin accepting reservations for our annual Alaska Coastal Brown Bear photo instructional tour for 2012 – August 20-24 to be exact. This year we are moving the tour from one exceptional location, Lake Clark National Park, to perhaps the best destination in the world for viewing and photographing brown bears, Katmai National Park. The Brooks River and famous Brooks Falls, plus Margot Creek are some of our destinations. Our host is the Katmai Adventure Lodge, located on the wild and scenic Naknek River. Each morning, after a hearty breakfast at the lodge, we will board a floatplane and fly off to a remote location in Katmai to spend the day photographing brown bears, bald eagles, and other Alaskan wildlife. Still, the bears are the stars here…

There is more information on my website, Coastal Brown Bears of Katmai Alaska or you can drop me an e-mail with questions or additional information.

NORTH CAROLINA WATERFALLS: June 11, 2011

A digital SLR is preferred, but a point-and-shoot digital camera with manual control over exposure will also suffice. A sturdy tripod is essential, however. Sturdy, comfortable hiking boots or shoes are always a good idea, even though no long, strenuous hiking is involved. Bringing rain gear is also a good idea, considering the unpredictable nature of mountain weather during the months of spring and summer.

The meeting place will be Hendersonville, North Carolina with local excursions to nearby Pisgah National Forest, Dupont State Forest, locations along the Blue Ridge Parkway and maybe even into the upstate of South Carolina. Exact locations will be chosen based on the current conditions and weather.

Tuition is $150 (plus $9.24 for registration fees) Register HERE

Patagonian Light

This image was taken on the very last day of our 2011 Epic Patagonia Photo Adventure led by Ian Plant and myself. The previous nine days were amazing, with nearly every type of light and conditions one could ever expect on a single trip: wind, cold, snow, warm days, clouds, blue sky, rainbows, and dramatic sunset and sunrise light. In other words, Patagonian weather. So it was only appropriate that our trip would end with this stunning (dare I say EPIC?) light show over the “Cuernos” in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. Patagonian light at its finest.

Dates for our 2012 return trip to Patagonia have just been announced. For more information on this trip, visit the Epic Patagonia 2012 page on my website.
