I am planning attending a photo tour in Homer to photograph eagles, 3/10-15/24 (yes, 2024) so I have some time to plan my extension
A few questions - to get from Anc to Hom there is Ravn air (small planes, not sure how equipped they are for carry on camera bags and/or computer bags). Web site says one carry one item the size of a computer bag. The alternative is to drive. How is the drive? Any good stopping point along the way or is the entire scenic?
Like to photograph the aurora. Is it better to shoot before the extension w/o a moon (darker sky) or with a moon to get a light on the landscape (sense of place?). Are there good areas close to Anchorage or should I plan on traveling to Fairbanks?
Not sure if anything would be open at Denali Nat’’l Park or what could be seen in that region in March (moose, ?) Any good areas for moose around Anchorage, on the way to/from Homer or north of Anchorage.
BTW is the road from Anchorage to Fairbanks drivable (in a rental vehicle) at that time of year ? Anything to see, any place to stop for food, gas, stay .. Any recomendations for another tour that time or year?
Thanks for al the help
