Absolutely beautiful, Lewis - What an honor and privilege to know you and your work. Stay safe

nicely done Lewis!

A very nice 10 minutes! You had an excellent year!

Wow! Loved this, worth many repeat plays! Inspiring. Great work.

You got some wonderful shots! Love the eagles against the ice :-)

My soul is in utter bliss looking at these images. If you don't mind, I want to use your slideshow during my meditations. So so beautiful, thank you for these unbelievable images ❤

A blessed ten minutes! Just stunning nature all around. Love the bear turning around with the fish in his mouth. Exceptional, Lewis. Thanks!

You obviously had a GREAT! Year! Happy Holidays Lewis…. I hope our paths cross again in the not too distant future.

What awesome photos Lewis!!

It is such a great place to get up close and personal with those bears.

Wonderful video!

Well, I’m happy for us that you had a chilly rainy day to work on videos that we could see! Not so much for you with gloomy skies! But, it is good to change things up, no? I enjoyed seeing your shower! Very cool!

Beautiful lake, great video :)

Found your channel because I was searching for info on the Benro Polaris - liked and subscribed. I'm considering purchasing it for daytime panoramas, but the astrophotography looks amazing. Seems like a nice retirement life - wandering around in an RV and exploring with photography...

Hi Lewis, Thanks for the video, very o=illustrative and interesting! I would like to use it with a telescope for deep space photography, could I use it?

Nice photograph, I did photograph 25-30 years ago, but I'm thinking of getting back into it. Does anybody know if one of these tracking heads is worth having if you live in an urban environment, or is there to much light pollution. I know it wouldn't be perfect but how much of a difference do you get after editing, or is it a waste of time?

i read only about big problems with this thing

Thanks for the video. Always enjoy seeing your work. I get the desire to include more video, but seeing the end product is always the payoff! Be healthy and safe travels.

Great! Nice to see this, two of our favorite areas.

Thanks for sharing this Death Valley adventure, Lewis! Great captures and a nice little taste of a place I have always wanted to go, but have not made it yet. During the early drive in 'fast forwards' I was reminiscing of a fall 1985 workshop I attended given by you and William Neill and another fellow whose name I could not recall -- and then you mentioned him -- Jeff Nixon. I remember his forte at the time was B&W with a view camera. An embarrassing moment from the workshop I still remember was having my tripod-mounted 35mm SLR and framing some iconic valley view and pressing the shutter and Jeff leaned in to view the frame and said, "Yep, you got 'im" (or something similar) --- noting the jet trail I had in one corner for my composition. 🙂 It is a lesson I never forgot about checking the frame corner to corner for any unwanted things. My other takeaway was the lesson in getting a 'custom ISO' for each slide film brand/speed matched to one's camera/meter combo by making a 'test strip' of exposures and checking for where the best detail was retained across the gamut. That helped me for many years to be able to shoot knowing pretty well what the image on the slide (or later, 6x7 strip) would look like once processed. Thanks for that too!

I’m from Michigan 77 yrs dad was DNR Officer! Taught me about bigfoot and most fearful Dogman. Had a firefight with Dogman. Killed with 12gage head shots 1955. Dad took us to Bigfoot. He new Indian language. Talked to big Alpha Bigfoot. Dad and Alpha understood each other,!us kids were protected fore ever after his words to them. Now that I live on new Farm different county I still have protection no cougars or black bears on farm. Alpha protects me for my Dad new Indian language. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Thanks, Lewis, for sharing these entertaining adventures with us. I've particularly enjoyed your time with the bears, but I never imagined the Bear Tours quite the way you show them. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Great adventure Lewis. Glad you enjoyed yourself. I got 3 cracks on my windshield, but no flats.

I love the aerial shots!

Wow! Great adventure, stories and photos. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together.

I drove the Dempster about 20 yrs ago, (but only as far as the arctic circle). Your video makes me want to go again!

Excellent Job, just got my benro polaris, this will help me get started. Thanks!

Thanks Lewis for this enjoyable trip, fly-free for me :) You picked masterful POVs for the camera and showed us a great journey. Have a wonderful time going forward!

Thanks for sharing your trip. This brings back great memories of my two trips up the Dempster in a truck camper, before the road to Tuk was finished. Made it with no flat tires and no chipped windshield. I see that Tuk has changed now that the road is there. We flew in and enjoyed a tour of the community by a local resident. No campground at the Arctic Ocean.

Great Adventure!

Have a great adventure Lewis!

Looks like fun. Did you find you needed reservations for most places in advance?

Love your fashionable headgear! 😂 Wow, I didn't realize they mosquitoes were so bad up there. Hopefully further North you go the less bugs there will be.

Great to see all the images and video here, Lewis! And since I have the Sony 200-600mm, if you feel you need to have a bit more reach than the Tamron 100-500mm gives you, you can borrow mine!

Safe travels, Lewis

Beautiful photos of the Milky Way, it must be really dark , Bortle 2-3 perhaps? also, beautiful blending of ground with sky on Photoshop! I watched you level the tripod and calibrate the Polaris, then star align and then track. Before watching your video, I spent a night in the desert with a a group of Astro aficionados and I had some serious issues with mu new Polaris: First my leveled tripod was not enough because Polaris went wacko and un-leveled itself. Second, the calibration: my iphone was off by a few degrees and although GPS is not dependent on cellular reception, and there was no cellular reception where I was, my calibration wasn't accurate at all. Third, 1st star alignment was nearly impossible because I could not center it with the joysticks on the red target. when going to fine adjustments, nothing moves... So, After struggling with leveling, calibration and alignment, I took shots of the Milky Way arch from 30 degrees to 50 degrees and my stars came out streaking...what a disappointment. I must practice some more to master the Polaris. any advice will be appreciated.

very nice --- I learned a lot -- I think I have been trying to calibrate my polaris with an incorrect positioning of the iPhone. Your demo helped!

Very cool. I had no idea Benro had that tech.

Lewis, That is some serious technology! Great job! Beautiful images.!

Very nice

How do you use the entire volume of the upper cabinets when the top of the cabinet protrudes farther than the bottom?

Amazing details. Very well thought out. Enjoy it often!

Very nice!

Where have you gone so far since getting the camper van? As a new owner of an Earthcruiser EXP, I can appreciate how great and convenient it wiull be to pull over and sleep at a location where you can just roll out of bed and get a sunrise photo, or get a sunset photo and then head into the camper for a dinner and sleep. So cool. Enjoy!

Love watching your videos! I think Wanderer was a great idea! I look forward to seeing more vidoes.

I am a wildlife photographer for which you did a bit towards the end but overall this was a great video and based on that i have *SUBBED* thank you for sharing.

Lewis, this is a great video. I love it! And look forward to following you on your road trip to Alaska.

Thanks for this great explanation for using SLS.

Maiden Voyage!
