Aren’t you getting a little old to be staying up that late? :)

Dang Ron-
I love these shots, amazing wildlife in context. Close up shots are great – but this tells a story.

Thanks Dave!

Yeah Tawny I hear ya – I was just telling Janine that I don’t think I’m going to make it to sunset tonight! Thanks.

By 11:15 I’m either dreaming about photographing moose in my sleep or looking at your blog and dreaming about moose.

Out of curiousity, when does the sunrise in Seward? Doing a sunset / sunrise shoot back to back seems a little rough I would imagine.

Hi Richard,

Yeah, the colorful sunset sky wasn’t until 11:45. Sunrise is 4:30, so the colorful sky is more like 4:00. I don’t shoot both back to back when I’m home trying to also work in the office like I have been recently. If the weather is really nice and I’m on a photo trip, I usually do shoot them back to back, but then I take a long nap during the day. Even with a long nap, it still seems to wear me out.
