A Few Fox

Up here in Alaska again and the weather is incredible.  Of course, incredible right now is 20 degrees.  The last time I was on the slope it was -50, so quite a difference.

Photographed the two foxes above with a Canon 7D and EF 70-200mm f/4L.  These two have been around for a few days now.

Back home very soon just in time to head to Petersburg, AK and our cruise to photograph the herring spawn and the predators it attracts.

Ballet Studio Session

Studio fun!

We've been concentrating on wildflowers and landscape for the last few weeks but I had an opportunity today to shoot some local ballet dancers in the studio.  So I took a quick break from CS5 and set up the ProFoto D1 Air system for some fun. 

With that said, I'll be switching back to Landscape mode tonight with our live podcast on Lens Flare. 

Take a listen at 8 PM EST at the following link.

Day 4 - The Magic of Flowers

Yesterday can only be described as an epic day of shooting.  The wx (weather) and wildflowers were incredible.  The same cannot be said for the sRGB conversion for this blog!  Will spend the next few days working these and the thousand other images we captured during the Magic of Flowers.  Of course, I will probably go out shooting again tomorrow and create some more.

 

Today's post is lupine centric with the inclusion of one poppy/caterpillar. 

 

Be sure to check out the Digital Photo Experience tomorrow for my contribution to their Lightroom Week - Sharpening Saturday.
