Bald Eagle, Southeast Alaska – Image 2374

Photographing eagles is always fun and difficult. The shoot is made aloteasier with auto-focusing. I used to get one or two sharp images with myold manual focus. With auto-focusing my success ratio for producing sharpimages is probably around 75%. I love the technolgy. This photoillustrates the month of March in my 2005 Juneau Calendar. Camera: NikonF5, Lens: 300mm f/4 Nikkor, Film: 35mm Fuji Velvia (35mm color slide film).-Mark Kelley

Porcupine, Southeast Alaska – Image 2371

What I like about this photo is that it brings a smile to the viewer's face.It is a porcupine with a bad hair day.

Chilkoot River Fly Fishing, Haines, Southeast Alaska – Image 2370

The huge boulders pok-a-dotting the Chilkoot River in Haines makes for greatvantage points to shoot fishermen in a very popular fishing river. So oftenshooting from ground level, the fisherman's upper body or head gets lost inthe river bank or trees. The higher vantage point allows me to separate thefisherman out from the distracting background and place him clearly in theriver. Camera: Nikon F5, Lens: 20-35mm f/2.8 Nikkor, polarized, Film: 35mmFuji Velvia (35mm color slide film).-Mark Kelley
