Geese, Auke Lake, Alaska – Image 2634

Oct 1, 2013 | 0 comments

September marks the start of autumn and the fall bird migration in the Juneau area. Probably one of my most photographed areas in Juneau is Auke Lake just nine miles from my downtown home. A new image of the lake appears in almost every year of my Juneau Calendar for the past 21 years. The mirror reflection is stunning, and I have shot it maybe too many times. This time, I got lucky again. I set up the tripod to shoot the reflection, and all of the sudden something flushed the geese off the lake that were hidden from my view and about 200 yards away. I let the motor drive rip and caught the reflection of the birds in the lake. Yahoo! This image illustrates the month of May in my 2010 Juneau Alaska Calendar. Enjoy the photo and thanks for visiting.Camera body: Nikon F5, Lens: Nikkor 21-35mm f/2.8, polarized, 35mm slide film…Fuji Velvia-Mark Kelley
