Florida Guided Photo Tour - Client Feedback...
"This is my second photography trip with Don. You couldn’t ask for more in a trip leader. Don gives everyone one-on-one attention. No questions go unanswered. Don made every effort to help each person get the shots they wanted. He is very knowledgeable in all cameras and camera settings. He was intimately familiar with the areas we visited, as well as local bird behavior. He did all the research to make sure we got the best of the best in sunrise and sunset bird photos. Don’s enthusiasm to work with you and take photos is addicting. " - Melinda M.

"Don couldn't have been more welcoming to the group for our Colorado Fall Color workshop last month. He made everyone feel welcome and comfortable, no matter what your skill level. Not only does he have great locations for shooting, but he is patient and takes time with everyone and checks in to see how you are doing and helps you in any way he can. His technique and style are great for all who desire to learn about landscape photography! I highly recommend Don as a workshop leader." - Terri B.

Costa Rica Guided Photo Tour - Client Feedback...
"I just returned from a Costa Rican adventure with Don Mammoser. Don planned a trip that was packed with events and exposed us not only to the birds of the region, but also to reptiles, insects, and fabulous landscapes. Don’s knowledge of the area, as well as his photographic expertise made this an unforgettable trip. I returned with great shots, but more importantly, had so much fun that I was sorry when the trip was over. You won’t find a more enthusiastic leader." - Kathleen O.

Spending time with the iconic Brown Bears of Alaska is unforgettable
Lake Clark National Park in Alaska is unlike anything anywhere.

During that time you'll capture thousands of images of bears feeding on grasses and clams, bears interacting with each other, bears splashing and swimming and bears being - bears!

Ecuador Guided Photo Tour - Client Feedback...
"Went on Don's trip to photograph Hummingbirds and more. This was done in the rainforests of Ecuador. This trip was fantastic. We went to 2 wonderful lodges high in the tropical rainforest. We learned the skills necessary to photograph birds of all types. It was an intense experience with fantastic results. The images of these birds caught in flight are truly breathtaking. I plan on going with Don again in the future." -John B.
