photophile Posted June 5, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 5, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Plan to take two trips ( long story ) out west. June/July to Vancouver area. August to Alaska. Anyone with input on the most photogenic spots in either places, or any other travel / lodge recommendations.. all would be welcome. next question..have my m6, 21/35/50/90 combo and a d200 with 2 zooms. considering an m8 purchase and leaving the nikon home. would you take ( this potentially quirky and without filters? ) new camera on a special trip or stick with heavy but stable.. and play with the m8 after returning home? many thanks for all replies and advice.

hdg Posted June 5, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 5, 2007 In the last ten years I was several times in this area (BC, Alberta, NWT, Yukon, Alaska). Please note, the nicest places are hidden and lonly. I propose to take a mobil home (minimum 23 feet). In this case you will have no problems with the power supply for diggital equipment. But most important you can decide to stay and walk around or go to the next place. As I prefer to make pictures of landscapes I use the shorter lenses but to catch a bear ... At my 4 weeks trips I have made about 1500 pictures. Take a notebook plus external harddisk to store and save your image files. Regards Hans, and have a nice trip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted June 5, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 5, 2007 CH: The only reason to have a really long lens in Alaska is for the wildlife, which unfortunately is seldom close enough for even most portable long lenses. Please read Barbara's trip notes on our site about Alaska (which also includes some northern BC). We never wrote-up notes on Vancouver, but if you like sushi, Tojo's might be the best in North America, and the First Nations art collection at the University of BC is astonishing. You might want to PM John Meade about that lovely city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
