We spent a lot of time paddling around and photographing this group of frozen gems.

Susan Dunsmore also joined us on the trip.  Susan is a top notch, very experienced kayaker.   (more…)

This iceberg near Columbia Glacier had a nice hole in the middle of it.  I lined the hole up with a colorful iceberg in the background and had Troy paddle in the gap between the two bergs.  (more…)

Yesterday I introduced you to Troy and mentioned our four day trip to Prince William Sound, I thought I would share some photos from that trip over the next few days.

In my last post I wrote about using graduated neutral density filters to overcome scenes with extreme dynamic range.  If there isn’t a nice straight division, filters aren’t much help.  In these situations, I have started using a process referred to as high dynamic range photography, often called HDR photography.  This is the process I used to capture this image of the Barber Forest Service Cabin at Lower Russian Lake, Alaska.

Winter is a wonderful time for photography.  I thought I would provide a few tips to make shooting in the cold more successful.

Another photo captured from our home office in Seward, Alaska.  This was last night just after sunset.

While working in the office this morning, I took a quick peak through the blinds to see what the weather was doing and was shocked to see this wonderful sunrise.  Because we are surrounded by tall mountains, Seward rarely gets a sunrise or sunset.  I quickly ran and grabbed my camera and captured this photo along with a couple of others.  It is not very often that a day in the office provides productive photography!

Like other dinosaurs, it was believed the Iceosarus rex had long been extinct.  That was until I spotted and photographed this one on the shores of Prince William Sound, Alaska this summer!  Unfortunately, this Iceosarus rex was unable to survive the incoming tide.

Much research as been done in recent years on Ice Worms in South central Alaska, but sadly, little is known about the Ice Worm’s larger cousin, the Ice Snail.  I was very lucky to spot this Ice Snail in front of Harriman Glacier, Prince William Sound, Alaska.
