WILDLIFE & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY
The arctic sun shines warm and long into the night this far north in summer, providing excellent natural light for photographers. A wide-angle lens (18 mm) and a telephoto lens (70 mm or greater) will help you capture more of the incredible landscape, as well as home in on arctic fox, caribou or even the elusive polar bear. The mountains, cliffs, weather and other factors can wreak havoc with light levels. Depending on the area you’re exploring, you may want to experiment with low- light settings even in broad daylight. While cruising in the shadows of Sam Ford Fjord, for example, a higher shutter speed can help reduce shake and blur when the steep rock walls naturally block some of your light.
