Harbor seal, Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska – Image 2105

Harbor seal, Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska – Image 2105

A pregnant harbor seal on an iceberg lifts its head to watch us drift by in a zodiac. I was in Glacier Bay National Park with Joel Bennett many years ago on a special permit to film harbor seals. I shot this photo with an Olympus OM-1 with a 300mm manual focus lens on Kodachrome 64 film almost twenty years ago. The photo can be found in the Juneau 2002 Calendar, on a 5x7 note card and in my book, Juneau Portrait II.-Mark Kelley

Sawmill Creek waterfalls – Image 2103

A hiker peeks over the edge to check out the waterfall at Sawmill Creek about 40 miles north of Juneau. The only way to get to Sawmill Creek is to drive north out of Juneau to the end of the road and then boat another three miles or so to Berners Bay. This photo was published in Germany Geo Magazine for an article on Alaska and can be found in my book Juneau Portrait II. I shot this photo using a Nikon F-3 with a 24mm F/2.8 Nikor lens on Fuji 50 film.-Mark Kelley

South Sawyer Glacier, Tracy Arm-Fords Terror National Wilderness – Image 2102

Two house size chunks of ice cascade down the front of South Sawyer Glacier in Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness about 40 miles south of Juneau, Alaska. I was on a boat photographing mountain goats at the tideline when I heard the glacier cracking. I swung around with my 300mm and started shooting immediately. I was very thankful for the auto-focus and auto-exposure. All I had time to do was compose the image. The F4 gave me my correct exposure and focus. I shot this photo using a ...
