点评:Had a great experience looking for and finding loons with chicks and moose to photograph with Chris. It was not a good year for nesting loons in the Greenville area. In large part, because of his knowledge of the area and experience, Chris had a hunch there may have been an adult with chicks in the west cove area of Moosehead Lake. His instincts were correct, and we got great shots of the Mom and two chicks! Our day two intent was to photograph moose. We did see several during the first part of our morning outing, but too far off for any good shots. Chris was focused on finding a moose we could photograph, and, again, with his knowledge of the area and tons of experience, he was able to put us in front of a young bull moose still feeding! Again, fantastic, we got our shots! One last comment about Chris. He cares deeply about what he's doing and about the wildlife he works with. He seems to be able to maintain the right balance between having his customers have a good or great experience and taking care that the wildlife he's searching for are respected and not intruded upon. Thanks for your good work Chris! Ellen and I will be back next fall for another photographic session with Maine moose!
翻译:在克里斯的陪同下,我们愉快地寻找并拍到了带着幼崽的潜鸟以及驼鹿。今年在格林维尔地区,潜鸟的繁殖情况并不理想。不过,凭借对当地地形的了解与丰富经验,克里斯直觉认为在穆斯黑德湖的西湾地区或许有一只带着幼崽的成年潜鸟。他的直觉没错,我们成功拍到了那只母鸟及其两只幼鸟的精彩照片!第二天,我们的目标就是拍摄驼鹿。在我们上午的行程中,我们确实看到了几只驼鹿,但距离太远,根本无法拍出好照片。克里斯一心想找到一只适合拍摄的驼鹿;凭借他对这一地区的了解以及丰富的经验,他最终带我们找到了一只正在进食的年轻雄驼鹿!太棒了,我们成功拍到了想要的照片!最后再说说克里斯吧。他对自己所从事的工作以及与之打交道的野生动物怀着深厚的感情。他似乎能够很好地把握平衡:既让客户获得良好甚至绝佳的体验,又能确保他所探寻的野生动物受到尊重且不受干扰。感谢你的出色工作,克里斯!艾伦和我明年秋天还会再来,继续拍摄缅因州的驼鹿!
