We spent two eeks in Alaska this past June. I not only had a great time but learned a few things while taking 2500+ photos. (Such as, shooting from moving trains, boats and zodiacs reduces your keeper count. :scratch Anyway, I thought Id share some landscape attempts, and as always, C&C welcome.

View of Admiralty Is. from our bearth in Juneau


Approaching Dawes Glacier in Endicot Arm


A Humpback taillobs off Point Adolphus


Early morning of the summer solstice


One very spectacular calving of Suprise Glacier in Prince William Sound


Part of the reward for a steep hike up the hillside in Whittier.


The trip draws to a close as we make our way back to Anchorage.

Very nice, I love the last one. Anybody can shoot a reflection off water(except if you live in the desert!) But off a train?

Looks like you had a great trip
Nice shots. I esp. like the train shot-well done and great angles and perspective. The whale shot misses its mark-is it the fluke your interested in? Seems the attention could be placed on the real 'shot' with a touch of PP: (if you object to others reworking you shots PM me and I'll remove it from SM and my hard drive-some people are sensitve and others make $ from their shots) Seems to me the shot is about the cloud layer and mountains thus:

Nope, no snokelling
My nephew and I did take a dip in a glacial river near Valdez. Even wearing dry suits we got really cold really fast.
Enjoy your trip. Bring lots of memory and have your sensor cleaned before you leave. Anything I took at over f11 with my D70 is virtually useless because of the amount of sensor dust. (Brand new, bought for the trip, D200 to the rescue!)
