Program Details
This private Algonquin Provincial Park photography workshop is all about getting you water access to great subjects for beautiful wildlife and landscape photography. We do not teach you how to use your camera. There are good YouTube videos, or other technical workshops, for that. We provide intimate park access, local nature interpretation, effortless eco friendly mobility, and safety, that you could not accomplish on your own. Always innovating the canoe tour industry, Algonquin Adventure Tours became the first Canadian company to start guiding with eco-friendly Torqeedo electric motors from Germany. These silent, yet powerful, 3hp motors, allows our customized canoe to approach wildlife with a spectacular water level perspective. The 3 hour adventure is split 70% silent electric motor and 30% paddling (by your guide). This workshop is perfect for those who want to have their hands completely free for photography. This workshop will travel to secluded corners of historic Canoe Lake, provide a scenic picnic (Henrietta's sandwich & granola bar or breakfast pastries), hunt beautiful scenery reflections while paddling down meandering stream systems and ethically seek wildlife to photograph. All ages and fitness levels are welcome - we've had participants between 8 months and 85 years old on this adventure. This Algonquin Park photography workshop is guided by the Algonquin Adventure Tours founder, Stuart Lorne Letovsky.
This workshop has three areas of focus:
1) Algonquin Park Wildlife Photography - For bird photography, the common loon, great blue heron, Canada goose, common merganser, king fisher, grey jay, grackle, blue jay, eagle, hawk, osprey, turkey vulture, pipers and gulls are common subjects. We often get to photograph snapping turtles, painted turtles and frogs, as well. If you like insect photography, there are often good opportunities for dragonfly and butterfly photography. Although less common, we have enjoyed beaver, muskrat, otter, mink, racoon, chipmunk, squirrel, deer and moose photography. Although we can't guarantee seeing a moose (please note that our Algonquin Park 3 day moose, beaver & loon photography safari is your best opportunity to photograph a Canadian moose), or any particular animal, we can guarantee creating excellent photos & memories for a lifetime.
2) Algonquin Park Landscape Photography - Fabulous fall colors, misty mornings, perfect panoramas, righteous reflections and supreme sunsets are all possible on this super scenic photography workshop. On rainy days, you might even see a rainbow.
3) Tom Thomson & Algonquin Park History - Algonquin Park was Tom Thomson's inspiration. And this tour will inspire you, by literally walking in the footsteps of Tom Thomson. Your guide will recount a vast knowledge of all things Thomson & Algonquin.
