Alaska Railroad Photos

Sticking with the train theme, this is a recent photo from the Alaska Railroad as it travels between Anchorage and Seward, Alaska.  I was able to shoot this from a platform between the cars.

Red-necked Grebe

A Red-necked Grebe adult feeds a dragon fly to one of three chicks.  This family of grebes nested at my parents place – I stopped and saw them briefly at the beginning of my trip to Southeast this summer – they were so fun to watch, I could have stayed and photographed them for days!

Clan House at Totem Bight in Ketchikan

This photo of the Clan House at Totem Bight in Ketchikan is a combination of a couple of exposures – one for the outside, and a much longer one for the inside.  If I didn’t combine two exposures, the inside would appear completely dark.  By combining two exposures, I was able to create an image that better matched what I saw with my eyes.
