An amazing experience to photograph lynx in the wild. An excellent time and experience, thank you! D. Mills.
This was not my first workshop with Dave. All workshops have been outstanding exceeding my expectations! Great instruction, great subjects, and entertaining. What more could a photographer ask for? S. Barger.
You were right. It was worth enduring the cold weather of Canada to photograph coyotes, wolves and bald eagles. Thanks again for the excellent time on the workshop.

Wow, what a cool adventure and photo experience this was! I highly recommend David and Jennifer Hemmings as they were perfect hosts and took us into the wilderness of BC where we saw and photographed the Lynx.
