Matanuska glaicer, southcentral Alaska. Canon 5D Mark III, 16-35mm f/2.8L, 1/30 sec @ f. 16, ISO 100
The Matanuska Glacier is located on the North side of the Chugach mountains, along the Glenn Highway in southcentral, Alaska. It is one of the few road accessible glaciers in the state, and is beautifully situated against a dramatic mountain back drop. During my July visit, the eskimo potato blossoms were profuse and the pink adds a cheerful feel to the landscape.
Patrick,
Stumbled upon your site while searching the web for advice on photographing the Northern Lights (Saw your excellent blog entry on the topic. Thanks for the voluminous advice!) Will be in Alaska from Sept 12 through 26, 2012 to visit friends in Fairbanks and Valdez and of course to do some photography! Your work is extremely inspiring and motivating to me. Appreciate your commentary and text entries as well.
Your images have “pushed me over the edge” Can’t wait to get back to Alaska!
Nice blog,thanks for sharing….
Beautiful shot! Looks like your new “point & shoot” Mark III in your talented hands is working out very well. Image just about looks 3D.
On a side note, may be sending you an e-mail in the near future for some advise on Polar Bear photography. Going to Hudson Bay 11/6/12 and any advise from the experts is always greatly appreciated. Have a great day!
This is a great photo. The Nikon 14-24mm has produced some great images for me. I especially like to use it from a low position looking up, including the sky and clouds. Look forward to seeing more of your great photos with this lens
Thanks Sam, I wish you good luck, the aurora should be good if the skies are clear for you.
Bob, I remember your photos with that Nikon lens, glad to have one now and look forward to experimenting with it.
