Sunset, Prince William Sound, Alaska #3033

Nov 1, 2017

The last few summers I have been invited by Princess Cruises to present a photography show on Alaska on board an Alaskan cruise. I jumped at the chance to sail with Princess across the Gulf of Alaska. We set sail from Whittier in late June and sunset occurred pretty late – between 10:00 and 11:00 in the evening. I never expected to get a perfect image from the rails of the cruise ship, yet I ended up with this shot of a dazzling light show. I stayed up most of the night watching Alaska drift by until we reached the Hubbard Glacier the next morning. This photo illustrates the month of November in the 2018 Alaska Calendar. Thank you for visiting. Enjoy – Camera: Nikon D800, Lens: Nikkor 24-120mm, Digital Capture, hand held ©Mark Kelley
