Information and posts about Alaska Northern Lights photography, including photos, trips and trip reports, notes from the field and other information related to the Northern Lights or Aurora borealis in Alaska.
Hey Folks, With a host of people heading north this winter/spring to photograph the aurora, I thought it might be of some interest to talk a little about the process of shooting photography at night; I know a lot of people have little experience with that, and it really can be a challenge at times. Particularly […]
We’re ooking forward to returning to phototours in 2022, with an Alaska Northern Lights photo tour.
A collection of favorite images from 2018 with Carl Donohue and Expeditions Alaska. Polar bears, brown bear, aurora and bald eagles.
A short selection of photos from Expeditions Alaska’s 2017 trips. All images taken by your Expeditions Alaska guides on real, actual trips. Tonsa’ fun. Come on out and give one a try.

“Oooh, my little pretty one, pretty one, When ya gunna give me some, My Corona” Hey Folks, What a cool tune, eh? This image of the aurora borealis corona was taken last March on one of the aurora borealis tours. Here’s to hoping we get a night like this one again. Absolutely incredible evening, and […]
