Throughout my 40 years on this planet I\u2019ve been blessed to see and explore some of the most beautiful places imaginable. When I\u2019m asked which I like the best, I respond without hesitation, \u201cKodiak Island, Alaska.\u201d It\u2019s a place I dreamed of as a child, and where I now call home. Among many special features of \u201cAlaska\u2019s Emerald Isle\u201d, it is a photographer\u2019s dream! And, like anywhere else in the great 49th<\/sup> state, Kodiak offers unique photographic opportunities with each season of the year.<\/p>\n

\"Close-up

Many of these opportunities are overlooked and remain unnoticed by the casual observer, but with a little extra guidance, one becomes aware of the possibilities for making great images year-round.<\/p>\n

\"Autumn

.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll take you through a quick tour of Kodiak Island\u2019s four seasons and share some photography ideas that can most likely be applied to your neck of the woods as well. I\u2019ll begin the tour with autumn and winter and save some other ideas for spring and summer.<\/p>\n

Autumn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Autumn is my favorite time of year, no matter what the geographical location. Growing up in the Midwest, I constantly looked forward to the display of colors that annually emerged in the hardwood forests. By contrast, I was not sure what to expect during my first fall on Kodiak\u2026towering green spruce trees look pretty much the same year-round – tall and green!<\/p>\n

However, I was surprisingly delighted to find quite a diverse palate of vibrant colors when late September arrived. The cottonwoods, alder thickets, berry bushes, and other species of trees, all produce stunningly beautiful fall hues that complement each other wonderfully!<\/p>\n

\"Landscape

 <\/p>\n

Something to keep in mind when photographing the magnificent Alaskan landscapes of autumn is that one must act relatively fast, as the land itself is changing fast. While each day can offer a unique variation in the tone of fall colors, the powerful, howling winds that are regularly experienced on Kodiak can quickly blow away and destroy a masterpiece of fall foliage in a matter of hours. Like a Boy Scout, one must be prepared at all times!<\/p>\n

When you see a breathtaking display of autumn beauty, make those images and make them now! Get into the habit of carrying a high quality camera (not a cell phone) with you at all times. If you don\u2019t have a DSLR, make a point of investing in a high quality, compact \u201cpoint and shoot\u201d camera \u2013 this applies to any location you might visit throughout the world. Though the image quality is not quite on par with that of a DSLR, a high resolution JPEG can still produce some great prints! As I always say, \u201csomething is better nothing\u201d when it comes to capturing truly magical moments in nature.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fall months are a major time of transition not only for the landscape of Kodiak Island, but for the wildlife as well. Massive brown bears are eating voraciously to fatten up for the winter, and while one has to be even more cautious in their presence during the fall, bear activity is at a peak and there are many opportunities for photographing them along the many salmon streams.<\/p>\n

Along with the bears, bald eagles, foxes, other critters are all on the rivers, gobbling up the hundreds of spawned-out salmon carcasses. It\u2019s an unbelievable sight to see the cycle of life carried out in such a manner right before one\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/strong><\/p>\n

But again\u2026one must be extremely cautious and well educated as to proper safety procedures, as bears and other animals are very protective of their pre-winter food sources and will not tolerate anything or anyone threatening them. Learn all you can before you arrive and ask lots of questions of your guide or the locals before you head out to photograph all the magnificent wildlife.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/strong><\/p>\n

Autumn on Kodiak Island is truly a thrilling time of the year for the nature photographer and like with any photography, the light of sunrise and sunset will make the colors of the season and your subject come alive with golden hues.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Winter<\/strong><\/p>\n

When \u201cOld Man Winter\u201d sets in on Kodiak, the reality of living in Alaska comes back with a vengeance! The cold, short days and rather colorless landscape is not the most enjoyable. During those winter months it often seems like everyone is in a nasty mood\u2026including Mother Nature. But, while one is powerless to change the forces that govern the natural world, one can certainly change the forces that govern one\u2019s way of thinking about it. With a little attitude adjustment now and again, those miserable days of winter can turn into an exciting new world of photo opportunities!<\/p>\n

\"Long<\/strong><\/p>\n

A long exposure captures the crashing waves at Isthmus Bay on Kodiak Island.<\/p>\n

For example, because of the short days (average daylight of 6-7 hours), one does not have to get up insanely early to capture some spectacular Alaskan sunrise images. During the winter months one could sleep in till 10:00 AM, have a nice breakfast, and still photograph the sunrise.<\/p>\n

You may not have many daylight hours, but there are still many subjects to photograph. It\u2019s an ideal time of year for photographing the hundreds of majestic bald eagles that inhabit Kodiak Island. You’ll find them most anywhere, but they are sure to stay close to their food sources.<\/p>\n

\"Black

 <\/p>\n

While it seems that the only colors which are present in nature during those cold months are black, white and blue, I suggest taking advantage of the palette. Winter is perfect for creating black and white landscape images, as well as concentrating on the varying degrees of blue that come alive in seascapes.<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

You can project that feeling of being cold when creating black and white images of the frozen landscape – Lake Rose Tead on Kodiak Island.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Photographing beaches, tidal areas, and monoliths are exciting and challenging subjects, especially when you are freezing your butt off! Which reminds me, make sure you dress properly for your winter photo-safari, and have an extra, fully charged camera battery or two ready to go.<\/p>\n

Tip: Cold weather will drain the camera\u2019s battery more quickly. Keep the extra fully charged battery inside your coat to keep them warm.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Freezing<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n


\nLook for interesting winter subjects! Psychedelic frozen bubbles in a slab of ice along a river on Kodiak Island make a great subject for beautiful abstract photo art.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tip: Condensation (moisture) and cameras really don\u2019t get along well \u2013 it can damage your gear. Be sure to get your camera acclimated to the cold weather and before bringing it back into a warm room, place it inside a plastic bag with the air squeezed out and place it in the coldest, unheated area you can find.<\/p>\n

Because the sun goes down earlier in this part of the world, one has more hours of darkness and that provides great prospects for astrophotography – images of the colors and dance of the aura borealis and a sky full of stars, which means you can also create long exposure star trail images. Night photography is great fun and a whole new world to explore for those who are used to only doing photography in the light of day.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Aurora Borealis creates rainbows in the dark winter skies.<\/p>\n

Tips: Use a wide angle lens, set your camera\u2019s auto focus on a subject at infinity while it is still light outside, use a high ISO with noise reduction and slow shutter speeds. Carry a flashlight with you, so you can make adjustments as needed during the photo session.<\/em><\/p>\n

As a final suggestion, get down and dirty with your landscape compositions no matter what season of the year. Be adventurous! I often find myself doing things like putting on fishing waders and standing right in the middle of frozen creeks while doing my photography. Don\u2019t be afraid to crawl in the dirt to get those super low angle shots, or climb a steep mountain in the dark of the morning for that bird\u2019s eye view of a sunrise \u2013 best to scout the area first or go with a guide or with someone who knows the area. Be careful and respectful, of course, but get a little wild while photographing in the wild!<\/p>\n

The last frontier offers unforgettable photographic adventures anytime of the year! Start planning it, and most importantly\u2026do it! Come on up and visit Alaska’s Emerald Isle and create stunning image memories of your own.<\/p>\n
