Two years ago I visited the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia for the first time. Its primeval and rugged beauty captivated me instantly like few other places have. I have just returned for a second more extensive trip, which I'm pleased to say was perhaps even more successful.

There were regular and sensational sightings of Spirit Bears and Black Bears on off-shore islands and numerous intimate encounters with Grizzlies fishing for salmon along mainland rivers. The photography was at times challenging, but ultimately extremely rewarding.

In stark contrast I also visited the wide open spaces of the tundra on the shores of Hudson Bay to photograph Polar Bears in their summer habitat. Again many of the encounters were extremely close and allowed intimate photographic opportunities from perspectives rarely seen.

Take a look at my Latest Images in the Photo Galleries section. If you think this sort of experience might interest you, keep an eye on the Photo Tours page, as I'm planning to organise another similar tour in September 2011.
