so, I used him to get me to auroras and it was wonderful.. Then I went to Chilkat to shoot eagles with Carl. Carl is a professional. He is opinionated. He makes you a better photographer. He taught me how to shoot FLYING BIRDS in MANUAL. Every image I got was PERFECT. It feels like tough love and it is, but I have beautiful images from this trip and I am a better photographer today. Thanks Carl!
I will be back for bears and auroras when they peak again- (poor man- a decrepit old woman in the cold- gotta love him!)

In March 2016, we had an excellent trip with Carl Donohue, from Alaska Expeditions, photographing the Aurora. It was an amazing experience. Carl knew just where to take us and we had several fantastic opportunities to photograph the lights from different locations.
His van is well equipped and spacious to travel in. There were only 4 of us on the tour and we were kept warm and comfortable during the early hours of the morning.
Carl is totally reliable and has a wonderful sense of humour. We came back with some stunning photos!

I highly recommend taking a trip with Expeditions Alaska. I took an Aurora photography tour and had a great time. Carl does a superb job getting his guests to the right locations to get the opportunity to see and photograph the Northern Lights. Enjoyed being in a small group that afforded each participant plenty of personal attention.
The website has a link to Carl's free E book on photographing the Aurora Borealis. I highly recommend reading this to prepare for your trip.

An enthusiastic guide from Expeditions Alaska took us to some less popular spots in Wrangell-St Elias NP. Amazing what we were able to do and to see in a trip of just one day. This is what I call value for money! Really liked the personal touch, the stories and the small groups. We went for a hike, but their photo tours sound great as well. Another reason to come back and learn something...
