Northern Lights, Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska #3048

Pine Grosbeak, Wiseman, Alaska #3039

This is another image from my trip to Wiseman. After searching for and shooting the northern lights at night I would sleep most of the day.

Bull Caribou, Denali National Park, Alaska #3036

Two summers ago I was the lucky guy who got to spend a week in Denali National Park. First out of my camera was this image of a bull caribou standing in the shadow of Denali. In photography we talk about a concept called pre-visualization. This image is a perfect example of visualizing a shot […]
