Learned so much about how to get a good photo, Mark Unrau was really excellent. Knowledgeable about the area, the history, the best places to get a good shot and also lots of tips on setting up to shoot, composition tips, and what settings to use on the camera. I had a wonderful day and would certainly do another tour.
Two tips, take a spare camera battery (Mark was kind enough to offer his as a spare but I didn't need it as mine ran out on the last shot) and wear warm clothing/ something warm on your feet.

WOW! What an adventure! Mark, our tour guide, took us to wonderful locations, treated us to a hot lunch and customized his teaching to our specific needs. Always ready to help, sure not to overstep, he was wonderful. This photography tour was worth every penny (and probably should cost more!). From the moment of on-time pick up at my hotel, through stopping to see the unplanned big horn sheep, hot chili for lunch and each stop along the way it was beautiful scenery, and a true adventure. Abraham Lake was the highlight and each spot prior to that was absolutely beautiful. Mark was patient, knew the different equipment we had and was so willing to share his knowledge. I would definitely go on this tour again and hope to on other tours with this company in the future.

We had a super exciting day together with Mark as our guide. The organization was excellent from the pick up to the whole tour.
Mark individually addresses the level of performance of each participant and gives valuable instructions. So every participant can improve his personal level in photography in his own way. Although we did not have optimal weather, everyone was able to get the maximum out of it. The tour offers something for every skill level and has no specific equipment requirements.
The catering of the participants during the whole tour was excellent.
Anytime again !
