Join us as we photograph some of North America’s most sought after species against the

backdrop of a Midwestern autumn.  Wolves, mountain lions, lynx, bobcats and bears are

just the tip of the iceberg, and we’ll be photographing them crossing rivers, playing in

waterfalls, and of course, in the hardwood forests that make this area so spectacular.

Photographing wild animals against the glory of autumn is not an easy thing to do.  Animals

appear to have an aversion to fall color.  And when you're working with elusive predators,

the problem is compounded.  That's where wildlife models come in.

Here you will be able to work a wonderful variety of creatures surrounded by brilliant

leaves.  Talk about a fabulous opportunity for those contest-winning images.  We'll

photograph a minimum of ten species during our shoot.

We'll enjoy three days of wildlife photography along Minnesota's Kettle River at the peak

of fall color.  Instruction will concentrate on creating dynamic wildlife photos, which

is not always an easy task, even with a background of mind-blowing colors.

Spending the day in an autumn wood is a joy regardless of what brings you there.  And

when you're composing images of wildlife in such a place, well, it just can't get any better

than that.
