It doesn’t happen very often, but every now and then we get a request in which we know we have the perfect photo – like for this book!
This is a publication of “True Tales to make you Laugh, Chortle, Snicker and Feel Inspired”. I haven’t had a chance to read the whole book yet, but I just sat down and read one of the first stories: To Alaska (Without Pants). It was hilarious! I now look forward to reading the rest of the stories!
This is pretty exciting – this image is on the cover of a couple different versions of AAA’s magazine Via, including the Mountain West and Oregon editions. We have a series of photos to go along with the story about Southeast Alaska on the inside as well.
Long time subscribers might remember when I captured this image from this post on the Skagway Railroad.
Now that we are home and going through our mail I may subject you to a bit more shameless self promotion.
A humpback whale dives off the coast of Seward, Alaska.
I got back into the home office on Saturday morning. I stopped to gaze out the windows in order to take in ocean and beautiful mountains – something I frequently do, it can be hard to get work done here! Well low and behold, there was a humpback whale! What a place we live in.
This photo was captured yesterday (Sunday). The whale was back in front of the town a number of times during the day. Surprisingly, a tour boat went right by it, I was surprised someone on board didn’t see it, although I was just as surprised to see a tour boat this time of year. I assume it must be hardy visitors up to watch the start of the Iditarod. Too bad they missed such a cool sighting!
My postings here may slow a bit over the next month or so as I spend more time in the office and less in the field. It seems like everytime I write that, and still find time and stuff to photograph!
Moonrise, Seward, Alaska.
This was captured last night right at about sunset – a little before 4:00.
It is very similar to a mountain moonrise photo I captured and posted here a month ago. I think it is interesting how different the hues are in this image compared to that image, even though it is basically the same scene at the same time of day.
A kayaker on Resurrection Bay enjoying a beautiful afternoon this past Sunday, Seward, Alaska.
A couple of months ago I wrote about a sensor cleaning liquid and wand product made by Dust-Aid. I really like the wands, they made it easy to get the moist swaps into the champer and allowed me to reach the corners of the sensor. But the real benefit to me was the fact this liquid could be shipped via air to places like Alaska.
Well I just tried another product that works even better! In fact, I was able to clean my sensor with just one try in just a matter of minutes! Read More
Pine Grosbeak, Seward, Alaska.
Another visitor to our backyard mountain ash. These guys are a little more approachable, but nothing like the crows. I actually tried to slowly touch one of the crows feeding in this tree the other day – I thought he might let me, but he finally hopped to another branch once I got within a foot.
I have had a number of questions about the settings used for some of my recent photos, I will try to get into the habit of posting such information after the jump – that way those that don’t care can ignore it!Read More
I love these colorful birds, but they sure can be tough to photograph. Hundreds would descend on the tree at a time, and then they would feed in constant motion. It was hard to pick a single bird out to photograph. Then, all it takes is a crow to fly by, and the hundreds leave in a giant mass. I almost got hit by birds a couple of times!
I usually use flash for some fill light, but here, because it was so dark, I made it the main light source.
