That was amazing. I can't believe how much you saw during your time out there. Were there a lot of salmon or was the numbers low still? Also, did you bring only telelphoto gear or some landscape lenses and filters?

@MattShannonPhoto Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for watching and your feedback! Our guides were saying that this was the first time in 4 years where we were able to see ok salmon numbers back at the waterfall where we went during this video. No where NEAR the numbers it should be! The fish farms are moving out of this region and a positive bounce back has already been noticed. I do bring a few other lenses for wider angle landscape shots. Most of the time I was shooting telephoto landscapes when wildlife wasn't around. Thank you for your questions.

Would you use a polarizing filter for shooting bears or whales?

@MattShannonPhoto 10 ай бұрын

I would if it was really bright out for whales.....bears on the other hand I'm not so sure. You loose light with a polarizer and since black bears are so dark, I often want as much light as possible. Great question and something I should try more often during my time out on the boat. Thank you for asking!

Hello Arron here I'm a big fan and love wildlife photography I just wish I could take pictures like your pictures with me on disability I can only afford a Kodak easy share c763 and it is hard to take good pictures

@MattShannonPhoto Жыл бұрын

Hi Arron! Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your love for wildlife photography with me. I'm so glad to hear that my pictures have inspired you, and I want you to know that you don't need expensive equipment to take great photos. Photography is an expensive hobby that is for sure. I've never used the Kodak c763, but the specs are similar to other cameras I had while traveling in South America and East Asia. It's all about finding the right angle, lighting, and timing. With some practice and patience, you can capture some amazing shots with your Kodak easy share c763. Keep exploring your passion and never give up on your dreams. Remember, the most important thing is to enjoy the process and have fun with your photography. Best of luck to you and thank you again for sharing!

What an awesome experience! Bears act like giant dogs. Use monopods much?

@MattShannonPhoto Жыл бұрын

I have a monopod but it was too tricky to use in the bigger boat and when we are on land, a tripod was best. One year we went out in a flat bottom boat up the river and photograph from there. Boat was too small for tripods but a monopod would have been nice to give the arms a rest.

@MattShannonPhoto Жыл бұрын

The boat has a lot of flat surfaces to place your lens and get fairly low to the water. I’d grab my sweater and use it as a lens support base. Worked well!

@MattShannonPhoto 9 ай бұрын

I understand where you're coming from. The price reflects the comprehensive experience provided, including high-quality lodging, a professional chef to cater meals, expert wilderness guides for safety and knowledge, boat transportation, fuel, insurance, and various other factors. It's a specialized workshop aimed to give participants a unique and immersive experience with grizzly bears and whales in their natural habitat. While it might seem high at first glance, it's crucial to factor in the extensive inclusions and the value of such a rare and curated experience. I always strive for the best for my participants, and this workshop is no exception. Thank you for your understanding and feedback!
