Great bear viewing and photography opportunity – one day trip to
photograph puffins and pelagic birds - comfortable lodging
in remote Lake Clark National Park – home cook meals -
small group – guided photoshoots and nightly photo reviews –
tips (both in the field and during reviews) to get your
photography to the next level: This sums up this incredible
experience.
Lake Clark National Park is the premier destination for coastal
brown bear photography. Nested in the scenic backdrop of the
Cook Inlet’s “ring of fire” (Mt Iliamna, Mt. Redoubt, Augustine
Volcano), you’ll see bears roaming in meadows and near streams,
grazing on roots, catching salmon, nurturing their cubs, play
fighting, and going about their business of survival.
July is optimal to photograph sows and cubs. Bears are coming
to the meadows to feed on roots and to the shoreline of Cook
Inlet to dig for clams. We’ll try to capture intimate moments
between sows and cubs, cubs playing, and the fight between sows
and male bear intruders. Long days make for some wonderful photo
opportunities. There is a one day trip (weather permitting) to
photograph horned and tuffed puffins in flight and perched on a
scenic rockery island.
Get ready for an amazing experience, where you’ll fill memory
cards after memory cards of memorable wildlife activities.
Trips have been sold out for the past seven years so don’t delay
your registration.
Looking forward to hosting you in Alaska in July, 2016.
Oliver Klink has been photographing Grizzly bears for the past 11 years, at Silver Salmon Creek, in Canada, and other places in the USA. His image “Holding Hands” has been published by National Geographic, Days of Japan, and many other publications. Oliver wrote a book, Artan’s Day, which is an inspiration for kids to grow up thru the story of a little grizzly bear.
“Even after 11 years, photographing bears is an adrenaline rush, especially when you think “bigger” than just the animal”.
