FLORIDA BIRDS PHOTO TOUR
April 7-13, 2021

There is no doubt that Florida is the wading bird capitol of the country. The birds often pay no attention to photographers. We’ll be there during the most photogenic and interesting period of these birds’ lives—courtship and chick rearing. Some of them will be nesting almost within arm’s reach.

PANTANAL, BRAZIL PHOTO TOUR
July 8-18, 2021

This part of Brazil has become world famous because it is the only place where jaguars can be reliably photographed in the wild. But that’s only the beginning. The bird photography is almost unparalleled, there are giant otters, capybaras, caimans, the list goes on and on. And we’ll be staying right in the middle of it.

COLORADO FALL COLOR PHOTO TOUR
September 22-27, 2021

The East and Midwest have Colorado beat with the variety of colors in their fall forests, but nothing can compete with entire mountainsides glowing gold in the sun. The other states’ mountains can’t really compete with the Rockies, and the locations we’ll visit will highlight the best of what Colorado has to offer.

Bald eagles are becoming more and more common, and there are lots of places where you can photograph them now. However, there is eagle photography and then there’s eagle photography. Thousands of eagles assemble along the Chilkat River for the last salmon run of the season, and there is no finer location for both eagle behavior and wild scenery.

NORTHERN LIGHTS PHOTO TOUR
March 2-8, 2020

Central Alaska continues to be one of the best locations for northern lights, for the skies tend to be clear during the best aurora viewing time. Just as importantly, we’ll stay at backcountry lodges, and the aurora photography is only steps from your door. It’s hard to have a Northern Lights photo tour be more comfortable or convenient.
