Well, I am back from a 7 hour flight from Anchorage, Alaska. Red eye flights are always challenging when it comes to sleep. We had a wonderful time photographing coastal brown bears in Lake Clark National Park, where we saw around 25 to 40 bears every day. The weather was challenging for the first few days with overcast/rainy skies, and then cleared up wonderfully near the end of our stay.

I have nothing but wonderful things to report from Silver Salmon Creek Lodge, as they run a great operation out there. We were fed extremely well, too. I am trying to process some of my best images right now, but the long journey might have me working on the images later on this weekend.

IP: 66.108.94.137EMAIL: joshliphoto@gmail.comURL: http://www.joshli.comBeing my second time traveling with Andy, I knew what to expect: 1) lots of photography, 2) comfortable accomodations, and 3) good people.

The trip delivered beyond expectations on all three fronts.

We saw more bears, up close and personal, than I had expected we would. Watching cubs was a blast. Despite the weather conditions, we all had a lot of fun.

The "show and tell" sessions that Andy hosted were extremely helpful, and of course his tutorial on panning was instrumental in my own photography (and you will see why once I have my images from the trip on my site).

Accomodations were not as luxurious as his safaris, but it was definitely more than comfortable. I would recommend, however, that one attempt to avoid snoring roommates (just kidding, Jeff).

Thanks for the good time, everybody.

I am already looking forward to my next "Andy Biggs Experience."
