Lowepro: Tim Laman’s California Coastal Safari

A brief exploration of the California coast with Tim Laman, Pro Trekker 650 AW II and some surprising wildlife encounters.

Story by Tim Laman

Lowepro ambassador Tim Laman recently journeyed along California’s central coast, from the foggy shores of Point Reyes to the dramatic cliffs of Big Sur

With his camera always at the ready, Tim captured elephant seals emerging from the mist and dolphins surging through Monterey Bay: moments that demanded precision, patience, and the right gear.

 

Each location offered a new challenge, and a new opportunity to connect with nature and wildlife through the lens.

Gear that goes the distance

Tim relied on the Lowepro Pro Trekker BP 650 AW II to carry his wildlife setup through sand, surf, and rugged terrain. 


Its spacious design, gear panel access, and supportive harness made it the perfect companion for fast-paced fieldwork, keeping gear protected and accessible in every environment.
