Overview

Experience the thrill of chasing the Midnight Sun! Learn to photograph the dramatic sunset colors in Denali with a maximum of 4 participants per tour. This tour provides a personalized photography experience featuring a prolonged “magic hour.” Revel in the beautiful alpenglow on the mountains and spectacular cloudscapes. During mid-summer, sunset is close to midnight due to our far north location. The sunset colors last for an extended period of time, giving us ample opportunity to move to several locations during “golden hour” for instruction and experimentation with different compositions, focal lengths, and exposure settings. This tour also offers good potential for moose sightings because there is less human activity during this time of day.

Inclusions

  • Professional tripods and filters are provided. Digital cameras with long zoom lens are available to rent, and guests keep the memory card.
  • Air-conditioned vehicle

This was a very enjoyable tour with a guide who knew photography and the area. Todd was able to get me some really nice evening landscape photos as well as some wildlife shots of beaver and moose. He revealed some tips and tricks which definitely upped my game in photography.

We had a great time. Brought two cameras of our own and borrowed one from them. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful with understanding the equipment and how to frame a good shot. We would definitely go back
