In my experience, the best way to see Alaska is with someone who has lived there and really knows the State. For spectacular photos like this it must be even more important.

This would allows me to keep everything in focus from the flowers in the foreground, to the mountains in the background with an f stop of f/8 or f/11. This has a couple of advantages. For one, this keeps you in the sweet (sharpest) range of the lenses. And, it allows me to use a faster shutter speed, and that helps minimize any movement of the flowers in the case of a breeze. I write a bit more about it here: http://www.my-photo-blog.com/canon-tilt-shift-lens-tilt Hi Scott,

This was captured with a 17-35 at 23mm and .5 second at f/22, ISO 100. This was before I owned a tilt/shift lens - the 24 at f/11 would have been perfect here. Thanks Ray.

I love this image and am looking to increase my DOF in my images. I'm curious if you used the 24 1.4L or 24 PC-E to capture this image? Thanks Great composition and tonality.

From your gallery on Kenai - it seems there is so much variety in subjects. I am sure you will have no problems selling out these Ron.

Richard, that would be really fun if you could make it! Hi Calvin - thanks a lot for the kind words, I really appreciate all your support over the years! You are too kind. Janine said the same thing on the pricing. :) But maybe this way I can do more trips. Gary, Jim – thanks a lot for the support!

I have had the pleasure of spending a bit of time with Ron, both in the field and in his home. He lives photography and is both very talented and hard working at it. He has a tremendous range of knowledge from computer, digital, software, to being a serious camera gear junky. This is stunning country and the combination of a good sized boat and knowledgeable Captain and a small intimate group, along with the best possible photo guide for this area makes this an amazing opportunity. Only thing wrong with this tour is it is underpriced. Should be $2,500. per person at least. Those of you who have the time and money should jump all over this deal.

I'm interested to see your other tour as well to see what you have in store. Seeing Mark Graf's images from Alaska has me thinking of coming up to either take your tour or Carl's. Sounds awesome Ron.
