Alaska Photography and Photo Tours: Specializing in Wild Lands & Wild Life
This is yet another composition made above Willow Lake, just southwest of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park boundary. We spent two incredible sunrises and two sunsets here, along with 2 moonrises near the sunset times. Each morning there would be a light mist over the lake, a slowly moving fog. As the sky brightened, preceding [...]
I like odd angles. I’m an odd person. It just fits with my personality. The entire Labor Day “long weekend” fall color tour was shot in the company of two great photographers, and as I mentioned in an earlier post, they pushed me to take my photography to the next level. If you want to [...]
Grab the Kleenex (Kleenex is a Kimberly-Clark brand), make sure all your manly friends aren’t around to see you, and get ready to feel the need to cuddle up with something soft and warm. 1 week ago, I boarded the high-speed ferry in Whittier, bound for Cordova on the eastern edge of the Prince William [...]
“I could use a bigger lens”. Ask my family and friends, it’s a phrase they’ve heard many a time. Photographers are always looking to “expand their kit”. And no, I don’t mean by using Viagra, Cialis, or any natural “herbal” remedies. Then it’s, “I need more megapixels” (MPs). Because you can never have too many, [...]
Just a few quick shots from this past Sunday morning. Glorious weather in Kachemak Bay, too bright for typical landscape photography – so I concentrated on macro photography, areas small enough that I could block the sun with my shadow. Lowering the contrast with the worlds most portable sun shade:) A self-propelled sun visor made [...]
I’d like to start a new dialogue on my website – I hope that you will participate. I post quite a few images on this journal. It’s been a way for me to share my latest work, my writing trials, and my odd sense of humor (don’t worry, I’m back on my meds). Many of [...]
Not gonna get long winded on this one – just wanted to show some pics from Homer in March. My final trip there of the year, and likely the last time I will witness eagle feeding there. Unless they change the rules. In short, I hope they don’t. I do think it would be better [...]
I can’t touch my toes. Heck, I can’t even get close. Knees, sure I can get to those. But below the ankles, not even on a good day. Oh look, we’re only 4 short sentences in, and Dave’s already lost it. I would counter that it is difficult to lose something when you didn’t have [...]
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. [...]
Well, Oprah is off for the week. So she asked me to step in to fill the void for the book club puppet master. Sorry to say, no one go looking under your chairs… you won’t be finding a set of keys to your new Toyota 2009 Toyota Prius. She gave me the job, not [...]
I just read this on Joe McNally’s Blog. This has got to be THE greatest photography quote I’ve ever read. It will be a great reminder to me for trying days ahead. Regarding our profession – “We are out there, in the air, in the world. We don’t go to a cubicle farm everyday and [...]
