My goal, as a teacher and photography tour leader, is to pass on as much of my knowledge as possible about photography and the wonders of this world to others. I love to help others learn nature and wildlife photography during my guided nature & wildlife photography tours.” - Don Mammoser

Brown Bears of Alaska Guided Photo Tour
July 22 – 28, 2026
Spending Time with the Iconic Brown Bears of Alaska is Unforgettable...
Lake Clark National Park in Alaska is unlike anything anywhere. This is one of the least-visited national parks but also a park that has the highest concentration of Brown Bears that are easy to photograph. We'll spend 4 full days amongst the bears. 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! Truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be close to such amazing animals.
Colorado Fall Color Guided Photo Tour

Colorado Fall Color Guided Photo Tour - Client Feedback...
"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.

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.

Costa Rica Birds & Wildlife Guided Photo Tour
January 22 – February 1, 2027
Costa Rica Birds & Wildlife Guided Photo Tour...
Costa Rica can boast over 900 species of birds including some of the most colorful and glorious species on Earth, such as the Resplendent Quetzal (pictured above). Simply seeing this and other birds is a huge thrill, but on my tour we'll go WAY beyond this. We'll have numerous close-up chances to photograph TONS of birds of all sizes, shapes and colors. I guarantee you'll return home with wonderful bird photos that YOU captured. Plus, of course there are lots of cool mammals, reptiles and amphibians in this small Central American country. And we'll point our cameras at these as well. Due to popular demand I am again offering my "classic" guided photo tour to Costa Rica in January of 2027.
Landscapes of Norway Guided Photo Tour
Late May 2027
Landscapes of Norway Guided Photo Tour...Lofoten Islands
The luckiest person on Earth is a landscape photographer who finds themselves in Norway. And specifically one who happens to be in the Lofoten Islands in Norway - where my tour is based. Combine amazing mountain views with brightly colored historic fishing villages, then add in a ton of rugged coastline, verdant ocean with crashing waves and you get an idea of what we'll experience on this guided photo tour to Norway. I've planned this tour for May, when there's still snow on the mountains and good weather, but the summer crowds haven't arrived yet. Come with me and prepare to be wowed that such beauty can exist!
