Alaska Photo Safari Workshop

What better way to start your Alaskan vacation then with a photography tour to show you how to take clean, clear, and breathtaking pictures with your digital camera. Alaska is an unbelievable state, and one frequent comment we here from our friends and visitors when they return home is that the photos they took just don’t capture the true grandeur and beauty they remember. With the photo technology that most people travel with these days, there is no reason you cannot end your vacation with amazing photos to match your memories.

Before departing on one of our aircraft out into the field you will take a two hour photography class in Anchorage. During this class our instructor will teach you the basics of digital photography, editing and processing, fully explore your camera, and answer any questions you may have. After the class we start our hands on portion by taking a walk around Lake Hood, the biggest and busiest seaplane base in the world, taking pictures of the airplanes and getting your first hands on instruction in the field. After we will depart Anchorage we will fly to one of our amazing remote locations. The location will vary depending on weather conditions, but you can expect to find glaciers, picturesque landscapes, lakes, rivers, forests, and wildlife. When we arrive in the field we will have a hearty box lunch provided for you. After lunch we will follow the instructor into the wilderness looking for glaciers, foliage, wildlife, waterfalls, and scenic landscapes.

When the trip is over our instructor will also give you ideas for photo opportunities for the rest of your trip. By the end of this excursion you are sure to have a better understanding of your camera, your skills as a photographer, and our beautiful state.
