How big of a telephoto lens would I need to photograph the bears? I have a 400mm and a 200mm. Which should I take?
A:
Mine was 18-270 and was fine. The closest you are the bears are 25 feet. You can look at my photos on etbtravelphotography to get an idea if you want. Look under Alaska

This was organized and led by experienced Captain Mel Erickson. The boat departs from a town on Katchemack Bay, about 1/2 drive north of Homer. Captain Mel led us to view the bears and guided us at all times. It must be reserved and paid in advance. The aditional advantage is that it’s about half the price of fly-in tours. An I loved the whole experience. You can contact Capt Mel at 1 800-320-2980 and 1-907-398-1744
Planning a trip next July with this company could you tell me what type of lens you had to take your awesome pictures with? I have a NikonD500 which is awful with low light so Im alittle worried because it looks darker than sunny. I also have a 200-500 nikon telephoto lens . Any suggestions I would appreciate. Amy
