In preparation for my Alaska Adventure digital photo workshop, listed on my 2014 Workshops page, I designated this week on my blog as Alaska Photo Workshop Week. Each day I posted a few images, taken on my previous adventures, along with some tips.

Today is the last day in my series. Scroll down to see my previous posts.

Hal Schmitt, my friend and lead instructor at Light Photographic Workshops, and I are co-leading this photo adventure. We will help you make and process wonderful images in Lightroom and Photoshop - and have a ton of fun.

Day 3: Go with a great guide/naturalist.

You may be there greatest photographer who ever lived, but if you don't have a good guide/naturalist, you may miss many great photo opportunities, and probably will not maximize your shooting and processing time when visiting a new location. This is why, wherever I go, I always work with the best guide/naturalist/tour operator.

Our guide/naturalist/boat captain on our Alaska Adventure is Captain Dennis Rogers. Dennis knows the waters, and he knows animal behavior. Those skills help his guests make great wildlife and scenery images, from dawn to dusk.

Get a good guide/naturalist and you are on your way to making good photographs.
