Blue Planet Photography - Art From Earth

I'm a professional photographer and this blog generally contains information about photography. But, since I also spent part of my life as a wildlife biologist, there will be some items about the environment as well. Maybe even some irritable ramblings.

Alaska Wildlife Tour

Well, this year is turning out to be an Alaskan Extravaganza. My newest photo tour is to Haines, via Juneau and the Northwest Passage.

November 13-19, 2006
Trip fee: $2250
$500 balance due by July 15, 2006, balance by September 15

Join us on an Alaskan Wildlife Adventure with photo opportunities to capture wolves, coyotes, wolverine, arctic and red fox, lynx, reindeer, porcupine, pine marten, mink, bald eagles, and others up close and personal. This trip will visit the Kroschel Wildlife Center and Chilkat River where hundreds of bald eagles congregate in the winter to feed on fall run salmon. The Kroschel Wildlife Center is embedded in the last great wilderness area on Earth, the 25-million-acre Glacier Bay-Tatshinshini-Kluane-Wrangell St. Elias UNESCO World Heritage Wilderness Preserve and is in the heart of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, and framed by the Cathedral Peaks of teh Chilkat Mountains and the boundary peaks of Glacier Bay National Park.

We will begin in Juneau, Alaska's capital city, and board the ferry for the 4 hours or so ride up the Inside Passage to Haines, past glaciers and awesome shoreline. The possibility to spot orca is good. The ferry is comfortable, with heated solarium and observation lounges, cafe, restaurant, entertainment rooms, and comfy chairs.

Once in Haines we will spend 3 days at the Kroschel Wildlife Center, owned and operated by cinematographer Steve Kroschel. Here we will photograph native Alaskan wildlife in a natural habitat setting. Steve trained and filmed wildlife for Disney's Academy Award Winning film "Never Cry Wolf" and other features, including over 70 episodes of the popular Wild America series on PBS.

During the three days at the wildlife center, and the remaining two days, we will travel around the Haines area, particularly up the nearby Chilkat River, for photographs of bald eagles which congregate along the river by the hundreds to feed on late fall salmon runs. An optional day trip to Skagway is available for those who wish to be on their own for a day.

The final day is spent on the ferry back to Juneau.

I'll have my trips to Vancouver Island online in the next week. Check my Trips Page for those links.
