Looked up just in time yesterday to see the M/V Sikuliaq, turning around in front of the house. This is a brand new, state of the art ice class research vessel owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and it to be home ported out of Seward, Alaska.
Opening Brown Bear and Puffin Tour
Unfortunately a broken ankle has forced one of my guests to cancel his spot in my August Alaska Bear and Puffin Photo Tour.
My trips have been full for months, so if you missed out before, here is a chance to get in on this amazing trip! See all kinds of behavior, often we see nursing sows at close range! These bear trips never disappoint. Plus, this is maybe the best place in Alaska to photograph horned puffin! Throw in eagles, sea otters… Well you get the idea. Check out the link for more information.
Aurora Corona
Because the Brooks Range is so beautiful, I usually try to include some of the scenery in my aurora photos. I think that helps set these images apart from ones captured in less scenic areas. But, sometimes the aurora overhead is so amazing that I had to ignore the scenery. This photo was captured looking straight up. It is amazing how much this one was dancing in the sky!
Canon 5D Mark III, Rokinon 24 f/1.4 lens at f/1.4, for 1 a second exposure, iso 3200.
