Those of you who venture North for a vacation in Alaska are usually limited to one or two weeks to experience as much as you can.
Great pictures are a necessity when moving at such a hurried pace.
The memories you capture will entertain your friends and family members for many years to come. Alaska has an abundance of beautiful scenery and a wide variety of wildlife. Many species you will encounter are shy animals which don't lend themselves to being photographed at short range with a pocket instamatic. The first rule of good Alaska photography is bring a good 35mm camera with a normal 50mm lens and an interchangeable telephoto of at least 200 - 400mm. There is nothing more discouraging than to look through your pictures only to find those white specks are Dall sheep or that tiny brown spot is a moose or caribou.
