Tim Pask

As a child Tim spent countless hours in his Grandfathers basement sorting through all the rods and reels that he had helped manufacture at “Bronson Reels”, in small town in southern Michigan. Along the way he ran across a 1960 vintage fly reel, something that passed for fly line in those days, and a fly rod that was surely heavier then the average current 12 wt. tarpon rod. Last heard the spiny-ray population had fully recovered from Tim’s early adventures, but beating those tiny streams and lakes to a froth was what would mold his future and provided the basis to pursue the wild side of life.

It seems Tim has always had a camera in his hands and for what he lacked in quality equipment, he made up for by not having a clue what he was doing. In fact it wasn’t until Tim was showing some photos to a professional photographer friend of his and he said, “Man huge permit, too bad you didn’t get some better pictures” that his world would soon change. This seemingly innocent statement ended up being life changing for Tim, and so it finds him right now banging away on his keyboard, editing images from his last trip, planning his next adventure. Last seen Tim was trying to pack more camera gear then 2 full time photographers need all into a airline approved carry-on that continues to shrink by the second. In other words, “This is working out perfect”.

Tim’s images have appeared in numerous publications including Fly Fishing in Saltwater, The Field, and Fish & Fly. He was lucky enough to go on assignment with the Sage Fly Fishing Company and photographed their 2003 product catalog, featuring Christmas Island as our backdrop. His work has also been featured in a variety of advertising literature for companies such as Sage, Fly Water Travel, Loop Tackle and Loop Eco.

Tim is extremely excited to be joining the Scanout Pro Team and looks forward to heading back out on assignment as soon as the airline finds his missing luggage.

Randulf Valle

Randulf holds a Phd. in metallurgy, but makes a living as an adventurer, writer and photographer, rather than as a scientist. He rarely enjoys the luxury of well equipped wilderness lodges, and is much more likely to be found enjoying a fresh made cup of coffe in his tent in some remote area of the world. He prefers to travel with a few close friends, or entirely by himself, and thinks life is at its best when he is able to spend several weeks in unspoilt wilderness.

In addition to the Norwegian nature, Arctic Canada is his favourite area. Recently he has also developed an interest for the vast opportunities in Greenland. His favourite photograpic subject is man in nature, but he also shoots wildlife and landscapes.

Randulf publishes most of his work in the Norwegian magazine «Friluftsliv», but has also published stories in magazines like Vi Menn, Padling, Up Here (Ca) and Kunst for alle. He has also released one book, from the North West Passage expedition, together with expedition mate Bengt Rotmo.

Tommy Egra

Tommy has been fishing since he was able to hold a fishing rod. After years of watching seatrouts hunt for sardines from his kitchen window, he started already at the age of 11 to develop a specific urge to study and catch more and bigger fishes, like one of his favorite, “the queen of the ocean” – the seatrout. Living most of his early years on an island in the south Norway, and has been fishing a serious number of days each year. Instead of long and for him “endless” studies, he naturally started to sell fishing equipment for a living. After 7 years he started to work as «The Pr & Customer Trainer, at Elbe Normark As» (Member of the Rapala Group). His job was to know everything about everything and teach his clients all over Norway how to fish and to sell fishing equipment.

After 4 expeditions in Amazonas, he also started to invest in fast digital cameras and long lenses to start working with bird photography. Deep in the jungles of Ecuador, he experienced all the beauty and the pain after hours of waiting for birds, surrounded by mud, bugs and threes.

Today he works as a freelance writer and photographer stationed in Scandinavia. He also does seminars, workshops and some guiding.

Some of his fishing trips and expeditions:

2000 – Canoeing Karasjokka, Norway

2001 – Finnmarksvidda, Norway

2002 - Jotunheimen, Norway

2003 – Rio Aguarico, Amazonas Ecuador

2004 – Rio Aquarico, Amazonas - Los Roques, Venezuela

2005 – Living solo with Indians in Cuyabeno, Ecuador – Isla de La Plata, Ecuador

2006 – Majuro and Mili, Marshall Island

Hans Falklind

is specialized in Nordic birds in their natural environments. Hans Falkind is stationed in Lerum, Sweden. He has a history as an author, photographer and painter. Watching birds was just a hobby of his, but four years ago, when Hans retired, he started to combine photography and birds– with an extraordinary result. Nowadays he spends most of his weeks in the field and the weekends in front of the computer working with his pictures.

“All birds are beautiful, and the closer you get to them, the more astonishing they are”, says Hans.

His ambition is to get so close to the birds, that the camera even reveals structures of feathers and skin.

“To be able to get that close, you need to learn a lot about their behaviour”, says Hans.

“You also need to be persistent, patient and to be able to move as slow as an indian.”

At the moment Hans has about 250 Nordic species in his collection, and the amount is steadily increasing.

Hans is using a Nikon D300 and his favourite lens is Nikon 300/2,8G AF-S VR.
