Al, you are making me cry here. This is the one place in the whole world I want to go. I thank you though for allowing me to view it and for doing it so beautifully.
I often face this problem. Flying a lot myself, especially on tiny planes, I am tempted to take pictures of the landscape, I only had a few come out all right. The windows, usually dirty, ha-ha, ruin everything. You pulled it off. Great job! ______________________________
My window dirty also in lower 1/3, so couldn't use that part of window.
It is very beautiful, but, I am sorry for being direct, it a little too photoshoppy for my taste. Although the panorama is really well done. __________________________________
Rare shots. They don't show up too often to please the tourists. I wonder if you were hiking in Denali or taking a tour. It doubt you can have so many animal shots being with the guide the whole time. ______________________________
Photographing and video taping with another guy on our own for two weeks.
Mew Gull (Larus canus)........another one I had to look up. I never ever heard of this species. This album has been a learning experience. Thanks for all these excellent shots.
BTW......were I betting man, I would have put some money on this being a Thayer's Gull (Larus thayeri). The two are almost identical..right down to the pink legs & feet and dark eyes.
Castor canadensis. You wouldn't get this shot in Wisconsin. They seldom appear before sunset. I guess that arctic circle summer night light has some real photographic advantages. The evening "sweet hour" must last a LONG time. ____________________________
Mike, These guys were out 2/3 of the time we passed by them during the day. Al Perry
Another FANtastic catch. How do you get such excellent metering on something that was most likely a snap-shot with little time to think and make adjustments? __________________________
Mike, I look for the light in the viewfinder when I can. I have a few shots of this bird where he isn't lit up. I might have used a little Shadow/Highlight Photoshop work on this one also; can't remember. Al Perry
