Alaska Camera

The tripod I had brought failed and Tom made it easy to rent a great Manfrotto tripod for a few days. He is very knowledgable about color photo printing and has some impressive equipment. Tom introduced me to the Glendale App, which is the state of the art for aurora chasing. He also has his own excellent wildlife and aurora photographic work available in the shop, and it's worth stopping by even if you don't need any equipment!

While in Fairbanks, I visited Tom and Wendy's shop for a tripod and ended up with so much more! Tom's assistance in how to set my camera for the Northern Lights was priceless - I learned more from him in 20 minutes than I ever did in any classes! He is very low key, non-pressure and a patient teacher! He has lovely souvenirs as well that are personal and beautiful (his photography). While it was cloudy most of the time we were there, I was able to capture a glimpse of the lovely Aurora Borealis thanks to his instruction! Thank you, Tom and Wendy, your store is a local treasure.
