Awesome images, especially #2 with snow flakes in the air. Just curious how you travelled with the Nikon Z 600 TC on Calm Air (I assume). Were you able to carry it and place it in overhead?

The lens I kept with me onboard as a carry on (using the OEM Nikon bag).
The rest of my bodies and lenses I put into a rolling bag and gate checked, since Calm Air has a 20 LB limit for carry on luggage total. They are very gentle with the gate checked bags, they are very used to handling camera bags since a large amount of travelers to Churchill are photographers.

These are all beautiful images! Nicely captured and edited.
What was the trip like? Are the odds good you run into a polar bear on a trip like this or is there an element of luck involved in getting to see one?

This year, there were an abundance of them. At one point, I had over ten Polar Bears in front of me at one time!

Incredible images Alphonsus!!! It is obvious you are not on a tundra buggy. This is on my bucket list before I pass on. Can you divulge what guide or tour company you used? PM me if you want to keep it mostly confidential. Great job!!

Lovely images... TFS...
I was there last year and wish I could go again, but then there are so many other places that I haven't been to yet, and it is hard to travel with school aged kids and a full-time day job
