Downtown, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2594

This is a December evening shot of downtown Juneau’s evening lights shot from Douglas Island next to the Douglas Breeze-in. When shooting evening shots I always try to time the shoot so there still is a hint of light in the sky so the mountain tops separate from the sky. The snow helps with ...

Spaulding Meadows, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2593

My absolute favorite place to go cross-country skiing is Spaulding Meadows in the low mountains behind Auke Bay. For this early morning January shot, I helicoptered my friends, Jeff and Karen Wilson, up to the meadows to catch the sunrise light. We spend the day shooting and skiing before ...
