“Drizzly Bear” or “Reigning over the Tongass”, Black Bear, Anan Creek, Alaska – Image #2913

Every year since 1944, the Missouri School of Journalism has recognized the best work in photojournalism through the Pictures of the Year International (POYi) contest. The contest is the oldest (72 years) and considered by many the most prestigious photojournalism program and competition in the world. This year, I took third place in the Science & Natural History category for an image of a black bear standing tree. I am honored to have my image in the same company with other ...

Aurora Borealis, Juneau, Alaska – Image #2912

Juneau experienced an amazing show of northern light on Sunday, March 1.  For some reason it took me a while to check out my images from the shoot-OMG!  I could not believe that I did not post this image sooner.  It reminds me of the song, “Oh What A Night.”On another note - PLEASE VOTE for my entry "Silver Flame" in the Oasis Photo Contest and send me to Italy!

Rainbow, Muldrow Glacier, Alaska Range, Denali National Park, Alaska – Image #2911

I have had more luck photographing rainbows in Denali National Park than almost anywhere else I have ever been. The mountain environment creates an ever changing weather pattern so necessary for healthy rainbows. But, I am still waiting and watching for the rainbow over Denali.  Thank you for visiting. Camera: Nikon D200,  Lens: 80-200mm f/2.8 zoom,  Digital capture, polarized - Copyright Mark Kelley 2007

Dall Sheep, Denali National Park, Alaska – Image # 2909

During the fall road lottery opening in Denali National Park, visitors line up to photograph two Dall sheep. The road running through the park is 92-miles long and during most of the season is closed to the general public except for the first 15 miles to Savage River. Each year the Park Service opens the road to the general public during a four day window at the end of the season around mid-September. The 2015 dates are set for September 18-21. Four hundred cars will be allowed into the ...

Spruce Grouse, Denali National Park, Alaska – Image #2908

I was leading a photo workshop for Camp Denali last year when we came across a covey of spruce grouse hunkered down in spruce trees on a drizzly day in Denali National Park. A spruce grouse is a close cousin of the willow ptarmigan. We almost walked right by this covey because the grouse were so well camouflaged in the boughs of the tree. These birds usually sit tight trusting their camouflage to hide them from danger, and thus become easy and fun photo subjects. We have just announced a ...
