Guest 18-Jul-2006 18:15
I followed the link from dpreview. I find this a top notch gallery of quality images. Most of us may never have the chance to see bears like these in person. It was nice to be able to experience them through your eyes. You are a good photographer. I also visited a couple of your other galleries that are equally top notch quality. Like the Yellowstone and Eagle ones. I plan to come back when I have more time to look at every picture again and to go through your other galleries. Thank you for sharing your wonderful photographs with the rest of us. You have a good eye for photography. I've been a photographer myself for 30 years & can appreciate quality work by others. You do quality work.

Guest 22-Jan-2006 05:03
Apparently Lannie Wierr has not been fortunate enough to visit Katmai. He/she should visit Katmai and camp out in a tent before posting silly comments. As Liz mentioned, you must hike to the platform all the while making noise so the bears know you are there.

When I first arrived at Katmai in 1984, we were greeted by a park ranger who gave us 10 minutes to store our food in a bear proof locker 15 to 20 feet up in the trees and report to the ranger station for a mandatory bear safety briefing.

Unless it has changed, Katmai is no joke. You can no more play with a bear at Katmai than you can play with a lion in Africa. At least on most African safaris you have some safety in the form of a vehicle. I guess all those National Geographic photographers have “staged” pictures of African lions devouring zebras.
Mike
Guest 21-Jan-2006 16:22

I was stationed at King Salmon Airport, AK in 1984. Back then the Air Base (now closed) offered boat rides to Katmai. It was a long, cold ride but the scenery was second to none! I was a terrible photographer back then and therefore do not have quality pictures of the area. Great job and thanks for sharing.

I greatly enjoyed your beautiful gallery. Fine captures! As a golfer I'm aware of a course up your way with a notice: " If a grizzly bear takes your ball, you may have a free drop; if you get your ball back off the grizzly - record an automatic PAR!"
Liz Bickel PM reply 17-Jan-2006 05:06
At Brooks Falls, some shots were taken from a viewing platform. A large percentage of other photos were not. The use of the platform is free. Just as are the trails (used by both humans and bears).

Katmai National Park is a wild Grizzly habitat. It is over a mile's walk (out in the open with the bears) from the cabins to reach the platform. Each person staying at Brooks Camp is on his own. There are no guides.

Brooks Camp was built on a still active, major Grizzly thoroughfare. Bears come and go as they have for hundreds of years. This is not a controlled environment.

The Denali shots were all taken in the back country.
Lannie Wierr 16-Jan-2006 22:49
Really a "staged wild habitat" in that you shot from the viewing stands that you paid to get a spot. Now go into the back country and bring us some real "wild " shots. Still nice shot technique.
