Polar bear on the sea ice, Beaufort Sea, arctic Alaska.Canon 1Ds Mark III, 500mm 4.0L IS, 1/500 sec @ f5.6, ISO 800
Earlier in my photography career I guided a variety of photo tours throughout Alaska. I’ve recently scaled back to just one trip, which I co-guide with friend and colleague Hugh Rose. Hugh is a talented photographer and an extremely knowledgeable natural history guide. It is a foray into Alaska’s arctic with a focus on the Aurora borealis and Polar bears, but other wildlife and landscapes of the arctic as well. We had a trip filled with photo opportunities, a little shy on the aurora this year, and lots of snow! I’ll be posting a few images from that trip in the upcoming posts with a few comments regarding the nuances of the photos.
