St Larazia Island and Mt Edgecumbe, Sitka Sound, Alaska – Image 2580

St Larazia Island sits due west of Sitka and is one of the last islands a boat passes before heading out to open ocean. One of iconic images of Sitka is Mt Edgecumbe. I wanted to combine the images of Mt Edgecumbe, St. Larazia and ocean together in one shot. I shot this image with a 20mm lens low on the water to emphasis the turbulent sea that can characterize the open ocean sitting in front of Sitka. This image illustrates the month of November in my 2009 Southeast Alaska Calendar. Nikon f5, Lens: 20-35mm f/2.8 Nikkor, Fuji Velvia slide film-Mark Kelley
