Stanton Lanier December Peace Cover
Sticking with a music theme, we just received a bundle of our mail and in it was this CD by Stanton Lanier. As I sit here in the desert in shorts and sandals, I gotta admit seeing my snowshoe tracks in winter is a little hard to relate to, but a fun reminder of our wonderful home!
For the many new followers to the blog – don’t worry, I won’t post every time we make an image sale – that would be boring. But, I do like sharing covers because, well, I think they are fun. So I post them from time to time under the category Shameless Self Promotion.
To Stanton – we weren’t able to get through to you on email for some reason, so just in case you see this – the cover looks great – thanks a lot, and thanks for the autographed copy. We look forward to listening to it soon!

Wow, so great. Congrats Ron.
Ron,
That is a warm and wonderful image, and captures much of what I find intriguing about winter in Alaska. I’m curious what lens you used? It does not seem super wide, and I’m wondering if controlling flare was an issue?
Patrick
Thanks Phil!
Hi Patrick – thanks! I don’t have access to the tiff file right now to look up what lens I used, but I believe this was my 24-105.
That lens does have some flare issues. This was taken in 2004, and frankly I don’t remember the details. I might have used this technique: http://www.my-photo-blog.com/how-to-avoid-lens-flare but I don’t think I started using the method until 2005 or 2006. How is that more a non answer?
Hey Ron,
That’s a sweet shot, and congrats on the cover. The snowshoe tracks are clean – you must walk more carefully than I do when I’m stomping through powder. Gorgeous morning – we didn’t many like that this winter.
Congrats on the cover – looks great.
Cheers
Carl
Thanks Carl – funny you noticed the nice tracks, I think that is why I included them in the photo – an nowhere can you tell that I fell over!
Thanks,
Ron
