Alaska

[bearthedog]

Just got back from another adventure. This time…Alaska! I bounced back between Ketchikan, Skagway, and Juneau, their capitol. I saw many things, mixed with the locals, made some friends, ate tons of Salmon, hiked, took thousands of pictures, played with some gear, learned more about their culture, and saw lots of wildlife. Did I mention I ate Salmon?

I used 2 Cameras on this trip, Canon 7D and three lenses. Tamron 18-270, Sigma Super Wide Angle 10mm-20mm, Sigma 50mm Macro Prime lens. The Canon G10 was always with me for quick shots. It is also easier to hand to people to take my picture rather than hand them a large D-SLR.

Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau

These images were taken from a bush plane flying over a huge Glacier.

Wildlife

A little too close (about 15 feet), notice the “camera around the corner of a cabin” shot!

It was that time of year when the Salmon were running!

Well…some of them.

Me hiking up Mt. Roberts for the magic shot.

This time of year the trails were still snowed over.
