Episode 12: Notes from the Edge of the World


Listen Later

In this episode, Jared Lloyd and Annalise Kaylor talk shop after spending 10 days on boats photographing in Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska. Kenai Fjords is one of the most dynamic landscapes on Earth and plays home to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife from marine mammals to pelagic seabirds. The PhotoWILD crew timed their expedition to the edge of the world for the peak of the orca migration. Following huge schools of chinook salmon, each day was filled with countless orca sightings in addition to humpback whales, Stellar sea lions, harbor seals on icebergs, sea otters, three species of puffin, and so much more. 

Key Takeaways

  • Photographing from little boats in a big ocean can be challenging and how to overcome those challenges
  • There really is no such thing as bad light, only our lack of knowledge of how best to exploit that light
  • When the photography gods throw you lemons, make high key images
  • Ice drives the entire ecosystem here
  • Mastering Light book discussed in show: https://www.photowildmagazine.com/mastering-light
