Reflection 1

Wow, what a glacier and

the 2 people

give

 perspective

and show the magnificence

of the

location.

Day 1

Portrait

A little

character.

Not your

typical

perfect

looking

eagle. 

Kachemak

 Bay

Always look

behind you.

Should have

used a higher MP body. The

water got so

glassy.

(P1000)

24 mm equiv.

Flying 2

No shortage

of these

kind of shots.

That's why

we went to

Alaska. 

Otter &

Octopus

(Yum)

Very unique

shot.  At first

we didn't know

who was

eating who.

The octopus

was still alive

as he tried to

squirt the

otter. 

Missed that

shot.

Flying 4

Getting the

white head in

front of the

dark wing

works.

Glacier

Just awe inspiring. 

Otters

Somehow

these guys

were in a
streak of

golden light.

(P1000)

1800 mm equiv.

2 Eagles

Hard to

believe 

this was

taken with a

16 MP P&S.

(P1000)

625 mm equiv.

Day 2

Forest

My first

attempt at an

environmental

shot.

Portrait

Young eagles

are beautiful

but hard

to capture

their beauty.

Flying 3

Otters 2

Hi guys...

Mom & pup. 

Pup seems

to be almost

as big

as mom.

2 Flying 1

Eagles really

are iconic.

I got 2 of

this kind

of shot. 

Icicles

I was the

only photog

even thinking

of shooting

icicles on the shore line.

It seemed like

a slam dunk. 

Harbor

Seals

With the

surrounding

so dark

and gloomy,

these guys

really stood

out. 

(P1000)

1,080 mm equiv.

Day 3  

Mountain

Goat

This is not

generally a

common image

from the water.

He hung

around and

posed for

awhile. 

Weasel

You see

and learn something

new every day.

He's not

much bigger

than the

mussels on

the rocks. 

Flying 5

In Tree

These trees

really stood

out from

 shorelines of

mostly

evergreen

 trees.

2 Eagles 2

Fighting for

position

to catch a fish.

Seagull

Scrum

Kind of like

a Natl. Geo.

experience.

Some yahoo

drove his

speed boat

through the

scrum and

broke it up.    

Flying 6

Eagle eye.

Scenic

Sometimes

you just have

to be aware

of your

surroundings

and look

around. 

(P1000)

50 mm equiv.

Diving

I really never

did get an

eagle

arching around to dive bomb

for a fish but

I got close. 

Scenic

Eagle

Laying in the back of the

boat with a

wide angle

and shooting

as the birds

flew by.

P1000

Day 4

Shore side

Nothing like

a pier to

protect from a

28 foot tide.

Landing

on Rocks

Flying 7

Rock cliff

in background.

Not Happy

This young guy was showing some

emotion.

Portrait 2

This is my favorite  image.

The detail and

nuance of

the color are

very subtle.

In Grass

The grass

makes the

image.

Flying 9

Unique head

position.  Only one like this

in 7,500

images.

Flying 10

Liked the

background

of the cliff.

Day 5

   (Lots more flying eagles)  

Scenic 2

The leader of

our group

pointed this

out. 

Didn't

seem like much of an image

at the time but really glad I

captured it. 

Kind of

minimalistic.

On Beach 2

Flying 9

Flying 14

I like

environmental

shots and

I think this qualifies

with the

background. 

Day 0

  On beach at Land End Hotel    (More images before workshop)  

Beach

Prior to the

start of the

workshop,

did some shooting in

front of my

hotel room.

People

laughed

at me on the beach but his

was the only sunset during

the entire trip.

Day 0

   Homer Split Ship Bone Yard     

Ship

Bone Yard

Really freaky

location.  Kind

of twilight zone.

Also some

hippies living

in a couple

of the

grounded

boats.

Ropes &

Floats

Fish

Hooks

Marina

Really beautiful

marina.

Mostly

commercial

fishing vessels

and a few

USCG vessels thrown in.
