This is a great historic and cultural tour with or without a camera:)
Overview
We help you take iconic photographs of several locations in the Ketchikan area, including historical, cultural and nature attractions. We offer advanced and basic photographic instruction for cell phone, poin'n'shoot & DSLR camera users. We conduct our tours over a set route of 7 or 8 different locations with each location offering unique photo opportunities AND teaching opportunities. Although a majority of my photography instruction is equally applicable to BOTH cell phones, pointān'shoots and DSLR cameras, some of my instruction is specific to DSLR users.
Photo techniques taught for BOTH DSLR & cell phone & pointānāshoots include: composition, subject identity, subject proximity, subject balance, exposure, cropping, angle of approach, light compensation, macro photography...
We look forward to serving you soon.

Bald eagles were nesting in the trees on hump Island. As we passed by the island the crew threw fish out in to the water and the eagles which were about a mile away swooped from their eyrie to snatch the fish from the water

Enjoyed our time with Brock, especially the retelling of the stories that have been passed down through the generations. Got some new tips on using my iPhone camera. Upside down and backwards works for totem poles!
