First time watching the channel Scott, superb episode and what an incredible time of the year! For me a Brit living in Canada I’m really looking forward to winter and today the first big dump of snow! Great video with some good tips. A relaxing watch with great video and pics. Superb. Cheers Rich 👍
Nice shooting, Scott. 👍 Really enjoyed the images. I’m a biologist and wildlife photographer in Ontario and love the winter - Alaska’s definitely on my wish list.
Thank you so much Scott. What a beautiful video - watching the video, the stills and the music along with your own enthusiasm for Alaska in winter honestly felt like some sort of therapy, just brilliant. Really looking forward to seeing what you come up with over the coming winter months. John Clark
I love your enthusiasm for the winter and the beautiful state that you call home. Have you ever thought of taking photography groups out yourself Scott? I know this year hasn’t been particularly kind to you but maybe in the future? 💕
Greetings from South Africa. I am a wildlife photographer and travel a lot to kalahari and Botswana. Ive watched many of your videos and they are great. Thanks for the wonderful insight from this video on winter photography. Glad to see that you have recovered well and look forward to future videos.
Definitely a convincing video, now I want to come to Alaska in the winter for sure. Also just a beautifully crafted video, great editing, great sound track. Well done!!
We got a few pretty good tastes of aurora here in the mid-atlantic this year, it's made me definitely want to come to Alaska during this solar maximum. Between that and the spectacular wildlife and landscape, can't wait to plan a trip!
Yeah that aurora has put on some good shows this year farther south which is awesome. Folks could see them as far south as Texas and Florida. Wild times.
Scott, I just today found your channel, and I’m so excited. I’m now 76, and facing my 2nd major back surgery. I’ll be laid up at least 5 months again. But I love the gentle nature of your videos. 20 years ago I spent 38 total days solo backpacking, 3 trips, in various locations In September. I still talk and think about it everyday. Blessings to you and thanks for great videos of my favorite places. David Drake, Colorado
I would never get tired of these blessings. Wow! Your photos and videos are just incredible. I'm thankful you share all of this beauty with us. I'm also thankful for your recovery. Thank you, Scott!
The funny thing is I haven't thought about going to the Anchorage area in the winter but your average temperatures are about the same as my home town of Underwood MN in the winter. This video could be part of the Alaska Tourist Board videos. Very good and I know a lot of us are now thinking about visiting in the winter.
Wow! Are you sure you don’t work for the Alaskan tourist board? ………that was such a wonderfully inspirational video Scott👌every single one of those images & videos were just great, loved the ones of sleeping sea & river otters. You’re certainly a gifted wildlife photographer with such a rich pallette of choice all around you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and enthusiasm. 🤛
Alaska in winter is not something I previously considered. For a person who has lived in Hawaii for many years, I have a large collection of winter clothes, so now I'm considering a trip. Thanks for this excellently done travel/wildlife video.
Scott - TY so much for this film - it’s grey and drab where I am at present and your film just brought light and stunning images to my living room - I’m unlikely to ever make it to your beautiful state but with people like you I can at least enjoy it second hand - keep up the gorgeous work
Absolutely gorgeous images and video! It’s fantastic to recognize the opportunities that winter provides for amazing nature and wildlife photography. I would love to make an Alaska trip during the winter! Scott, have you thought about leading some photography trips/workshops? Your passion and deep respect for nature, your ability to communicate so clearly, and your knowledge of Alaska would really make for a wonderful experience.
Thanks Vaughn. I currently don't hold any workshops. Time is the biggest roadblock. But if you are going to make it up here, ping me on instagram and we can get something going.
Scott, And all inspiring video. Well Done! Living in Florida, Alaska is on my bucket list for sure. I greatly appreciate the other videos your referenced regarding recommended gear and preparing for the winter weather. Such masterful photos and video clips from your own collection you shared. Do you conduct winter workshops?
Another great video, Scott. You sure make me miss living in Alaska. I agree that winter is an often overlooked time to photograph wildlife and landscapes in Alaska. Some of my best Alaska photos are from the winter.
Wow, those photos are incredible and stunning! Alaska is definitely on my bucket list. Whether in summer or winter, I'll make it there one day! As a friend who's just entering summertime, all I can send are very warm greetings from Brazil! Stay warm and safe! 😍😁
Love your work, Scott it's always an adventure when you go out shooting. Its a dream to visit Alaska, such a contrast to my home of Australia. You really have made me think about the winter.
Thankyou for sharing such natural beauty. Excellent work as well lovely shots and exceptional videos. You've even got nice astro in the evenings. The cold is the difficult one but worth the compromise just to experience that lovely nature. Alaska seems like a wonderland, thanks again cheers.
Good things is the Anchorage area is usually around 20-30F most of the winter and Homer/Seward area can be 20-40's most of the winter. We do get a few days in the single digits to negative, but they are more rare. Plus if the wind doesn't blow it's not that bad really. zStill cold, but bearable 😁
I'll be heading to Alaska for my first time in March for sea otters and eagles. Hopefully I'll have an opportunity to see other wildlife also while I'm there.
I live in England; where the 'wildlife' keeps distance of 'miles' and is increasingly difficult to find. I can only dream of having such things as the wildlife in Alaska to photograph. On top of this, in the UK, most of the land is out of bounds to the people and what places are open, close at 5pm (yes, even in the summer). Its so desperate here for a wildlife lover/photographer.
Thank you for the video! I’m planning to bring my active 80 year old dad to Alaska next year, probably September for the fall colors. We will spend some days in Denali, but if he wants to see more bears - where should I take him? Can you recommend a guide?
September bears you can find in Denali, but best bet is fly out to kodiak for a day or so. the bears are in the rivers close to town. You can just rent a car and look or book a guide. Message me on Instagram and I can get you in touch with some friends that may be running some trips in Sept over there.

The Hawk and the otter OMG ...

5:08, what an incredible shot.
Thanks. It was some tough weather to shoot in. If you go back and watch the very first video I made, this is where the shot came from.
Definitely a convincing video, now I want to come to Alaska in the winter for sure. Also just a beautifully crafted video, great editing, great sound track. Well done!!
Thanks and you should make it up and enjoy the snow :)
Great photography Scott, take care this winter. Looking forward to your videos. P.s. you are a good salesman for the Alaska Tourism Board.
Thanks 👍

A wonderful motivational video. Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can see why you are so enthusiastic about your country. Fantastic scenery and wildlife. The video is stunning representation
Thank you very much!

Aloha from the big island, I totally agree.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Good stuff. I'm too old to shovel snow anymore, had to move to a slightly warmer place. But I can still enjoy your views!
Thanks 👍

I live on the Canadian prairies, where winters are harsh. Thanks for reminding me of the magnificent season ahead. Lovely images!
🌨️🌬️
What a lovely video Scott. That leaping Dall Ram is spectacular.
Thanks

😁
On the opposite end here. Newfoundland and Labrador. Winter is great. Just gotta use it. Yes the snow covered land makes a great natural reflectors
Very much so. You get a lot more wind on that side of the continent . brrrrrrrrr 🥶
Love your work, Scott it's always an adventure when you go out shooting. Its a dream to visit Alaska, such a contrast to my home of Australia. You really have made me think about the winter.
Thanks
Great video! I come to anchorage for work a few times a year and have gotten some great images. Hoping to get back up this winter to see more.
We got over a foot of snow this week. So it's on 😁🌨️
@ excellent. Looking forward to it.

These were so beautiful that I had tears in my eyes. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it.

Stunning wildlife and amazing photography
Glad you enjoyed it

I'll be heading to Alaska for my first time in March for sea otters and eagles. Hopefully I'll have an opportunity to see other wildlife also while I'm there.
Oh you shouldn't have an issue there. Good time to see both that time of year.
Excellente vidéo, de très Belles photos, Merci.
👍
I left Alaska 2 years ago and this channel as done nothing to make leaving Alaska easier.
I bet. Such a magical place.
Thanks going next September
Very cool.

It takes a lot of work to get close at times. But more built up areas with people do are it harder.
Nice video 👍🙂
Thanks 😀
