This Is Why I Told Him to Fly to Alaska : SONY A7R VI

In this episode of WILD ALASKA, I’m joined by my high school friend Scott Murphy, who traveled all the way from New York City to experience the incredible bird photography here in the 49th state. We head out to the coastal town of Whittier and along Turnagain Arm to track down some of Alaska’s most iconic shorebirds and songbirds. Watch as we use the Sony A7R VI and the 200-600mm lens to capture stunning shots of Oyster Catchers, Yellow-rumped Warblers, and more. I also share my strategy for approaching wildlife when shooting with a partner to ensure we get the shots without disturbing the birds. This was a grand adventure across the country and into the wild—stay tuned for part two next week\!
