August Bear Tour – 1 spot now open due to cancellation

An unexpected career change has just lead to a sudden opening into my most popular photo tour – this trip was sold out by last October!  I already have a list forming of people interested in 2014!

Plus, thanks to an airfare war – I’m seeing some of the cheapest airfares to and from the Lower 48 then I have seen in years!  So if you don’t already have summer plans, this just might be the perfect time to come to Alaska and experience these amazing animals up-close!  To learn more go to:  Alaska Bear Photo Tour.

Lake Clark Lupine

This was very early in the morning during my June Alaska bear photo tour.

Not only did this location have some of the best lupine, but it almost always had at least one bear – except of course for this morning!  🙂  It is still a pretty spot even without a bear feeding in the meadow – maybe next year we will see it all!

Details:  Canon 5D II, tripod with 24-105 lens at 40, ISO 100, f/16 and 1/6th of a second.  I believe I used a two stop graduated neutral density filter.
