Sawmill Creek, Berners Bay, Alaska – Image 2582

Sawmill Creek, Berners Bay, Alaska – Image 2582

The Sawmill Creek waterfall is a fairy-tale, childhood dream-like place. My friend, David Job, poses by the falls to give the viewer the sense of size of the scene. This image illustrates the month of May in my 2009 Juneau Alaska Calendar. I shot this image with a slow (long) shutter speed ...

Brown Bears, Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska – Image 2581

I shot this image with my 500mm lens (equivalent of a 750mm) off the top deck of a Cruise West boat in May of 2007. I was on board as the leader of a week long photo cruise. The ship was passing by Gloomy Knob which is usually great for mountain goat shots in May. We stumbled upon this ...

Black Bears, Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska – Image 2577

A lone black bear crosses Steep Creek. I shot this photo early in September which in Juneau means early autumn. What I love about this photo is the great light of the evening sun illuminating the grasses along the creek showing the first signs of autumn yellowing. But what sends this photo ...

A mother black bear with her twin cubs stroll the banks of Steep Creek at the Mendenhall Glacier. Many people think black bears are black. But, in fact black bears come in all colors from white to grey to black to brown. This photo illustrates some of the color phases. The mother is two-toned ...
