Just back from a quick hike at a weird hour. Weird as in hiking from 9 pm to 1 am. Weird. Well, it is Alaska… Didn’t even need a headlamp at all last night, although it probably would have been a good idea. I spent my time in the wild with good friend and exceptional [...]
Just a quick post to “show off” a recent panoramic image I have been working on. Jena and I were headed back from photographing Denali (and the Alaska Range) from the South Overlook on the Park’s Highway, this past Monday night. As we neared Willow, Alaska, we turned our heads to look back at where [...]
Just a quick post today, sorry for the lull in activity lately. I’ll have some more content up asap, as well as a few announcements. Before I forget, don’t forget to take a look at the recently announced workshop: Alaska’s Southern Coast, June 11-18, 2010. This panoramic was shot yesterday morning at sunrise. I was [...]

So I worked on other options, one of which was this attempt at a b&w conversion of a 4 image panoramic. I arranged the mountains along the bottom of the frame [...]

I’m starting a new type of Journal entry: “The Making Of”. This series will explain my preparations, photographic method and finally post production for a specific image. I hope this will prove insightful, and get you thinking about how you “get ‘er done”. Please, comment below! If you have questions about any post – ask. [...]
