Auke Bay Rest Stop

Alaska is known for its abundant wildlife. My trips there produced several opportunities for some great photo shoots. I made this image after an afternoon of whale watching. We came upon a group of Harbor Seals (is there a word for a group of seals?) competing for resting space on this colorful buoy.  We circled the buoy several times allowing for many cute shots.

One seal seemed to really want to be part of the group but was not being allowed on.  It reminded me of high school cafeterias where the seniors have their own tables and freshmen are not allowed. The sun was low in the sky, providing really good lighting and luckily, a gull dropped in for an added bonus!

Painterly Alaskan Coastline

, ,

If you missed out on adding this to your collection during my January studio sale, then take advantage of this opportunity! An image that makes you say ahhhhh. Feel an immediate sense of calm as you gaze on this idyllic Alaskan scene of Sitka spruce trees, a gurgling waterfall and a pristine, emerald lake. Believe me when I say this image captures the feelings of peacefulness and serenity exactly as it was when I was there. A slight panning motion during capture creates a painterly effect on this view of the coast near Juneau.

Cruising Endicott Arm

The weather was beautiful the day we cruised into Endicott Arm near Juneau, Alaska. We were able to get within a half mile of Dawes Glacier. The following photo was taken with my iPhone and edited using Snapseed.

Too Early for Salmon in Ketchikan, Alaska

Here is a photo made on our stop in this quaint town. We were here in May and early June, which is too early for the legendary salmon runs that happen here.
