Haines offers unparalleled opportunities to capture images of sweeping beauty, wildlife, and culture that will preserve memories that last a lifetime and rival the travel photos that brought you here in the first place. In the course of the Haines private tour for photographers I strive to cover the basics of your camera's technical functions. I offer instruction how and when to use the camera's various modes to optimize the photograph you would like to save as a real keeper. This would include: (1) choosing the proper ISO; (2) when to use aperture mode vs. shutter priority or other modes. I also will discuss the proper application of bracketing to optimize dynamic range within a shot with high contrast. Additionally I offer tips to optimize your opportunities for successful wildlife photography. Modern cameras make technical considerations easy. Composition is KING! If you just want to go out and shoot pretty scenes I will get you to the best spots and then I discuss the best composition consideration.
We will see and capture: - Totemic art, poles, and panels I offer a historical perspective on the interaction between the local Tlingit and Anglo people who were invited to settle here and create our town. I will give tips on how to get truly unique totem photos. - Fort Wm. H. Seward I offer a historical perspective on why and how Alaska's first permanent army post came to be established in Haines, as well as its evolution after its decommission. The Fort remains a vibrant center of the Haines borough. - Alaska's commercial maritime heritage: Haines' oldest continually operating business is a historic cannery located on a scenic cove near town. This is a truly iconic location. We will explore the many compositional opportunities that present themselves here. - The Alaskan landscape: Sweeping vistas, glaciers, wildflowers, salmon rivers, in addition to wildlife as wildlife permits. The four-hour option can include either Chilkoot or Chilkat State Parks, according to your preference at the time of the tour
