Join us in Iceland in November of 2024 for a fascinating photographic journey along the south coast of Iceland as we seek beautiful landscapes and intriguing ice forms and winter waterfall images by day – and hunt the Northern Lights at night!

Glaciers appear more blue in the winter as there is not so much daytime melting to make the soft white ice that hides that blue look!

 

Ice caves, carved by waters flowing through glaciers, become stable enough for us to explore! We have secured a cave outing (guided, with crampons) with enough time to bring tripods and cameras!

 

Glaciers continue to calve into fresh-water lagoons. Some of that ice makes its way to the sea, only to be stranded on gorgeous black-sand beaches. A photographers' playground.

Iceland can be an outstanding place to photograph the Aurora as well. One of the great advantages there is a variety of foregrounds, including mountains, streams, lagoons, and even glaciers.

And, Iceland's famous waterfalls don't take the winter off. Some are ice enshrouded. Others totally freeze solid. And still others gush just like usual. There is creative fun to be had - even on moonlit nights!

 

 

We’ll start with winter views of Iceland’s Stroker (active geyser) and the famous Gulfoss Waterfall. 

 

Then we’ll work our way along the south coast of Iceland, staying 3 nights in the Vik area, where we’ll photograph mountains, coastlines, waterfalls, basalt columns, black sand beaches and other nature shots by day – and seek the Aurora at night.

 

We’ll move to a new base camp right next to the famous glacial lagoon enabling us photographic opportunities of the glacial lagoon, icebergs on the black sand beach, and ice blue glaciers. 

 

 

Finally, we’ll head back to Reykjavik for a night before the journey home.

We have choreographed this adventure to put us in great positions for all the above activities - at the right time of the year - and the right phases of the moon.

Please note that the Aurora does not show up every night – and that Iceland does experience cloudy conditions that could prevent us from seeing the Aurora often (or possibly at all). We worked with our team in Iceland to choose the region of Iceland, the time of year, and the phase of the moon to give us the best possible odds of photographing the Aurora! 

 

Two of the images on this page were provided by our Iceland Guide Siggi!

Custom Pantanal Photography Safari Wild Adventure

The Pantanal, in Southwest Brazil, is probably the best place in the world to photograph jaguars. And that photography is largely accomplished from a boat. We have concocted a photography safari that will take you to the best spots at the best time with a great local operator. Jaguars are the object, but we'll also find giant river otters, ocelots, macaws, caiman, capybaras, monkeys, anteaters, tapirs, and toucans! This is one of our wild adventures - as we'll journey far off the grid and lodging is about positioning us rather than luxury!

Private Madagascar

The word Madagascar evokes mystery and wildness. Madagascar is home to all of the world's lemurs, a branch of primates from the same roots that also spawned humans. There are scores of species of chameleons. Several species of baobabs. And most of the birds here are endemic. The size of Texas, Madagascar has numerous ecosystems - each with its own set of creatures - and a number of exciting landscape opportunities. This round is a private tour. Another round in 2024 - with limited space. Contact us if you want on the list!

Join us on a jaguar quest that will yield so much more than jaguars. The Pantanal is the only place in the world where jaguars routinely hunt during daylight - and the jaguars of the northern Pantanal are "patient" with photographers! We'll journey by boat to seek jaguar action - but we'll also find giant river otters, caiman, capybara, and a wealth of birdlife including the jabiru stork - largest flying bird of the Americas.. You are likely to come back with images of birds with fish in their possesion. Great place to master flying birds. A must do photo trip!

The Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras reaches Tanzania's Northern Serengeti in late July or early August. Rains furthern north, in Kenya's Masai Mara beckon the herds - and the route involves crossing the treacherous Mara River where crocodiles await.
