Creek Near Wasilla, Alaska

On the drive back from Wasilla to Anchorage we noticed this little creek.  It was so peaceful and beautiful that we had to pull over to take a couple of photos.  What a wonderful place to experience the beauty of creation:

Portage Lake, Alaska in HDR

Alaska has so many great scenes to photograph.  This photo was taken on June 1, 2009 on our last visit to Portage Lake between Anchorage and Whittier.  The weather was cold, but not quite as cold as you would think from looking at this photo.  I think it was around 30 degrees.  Portage Lake is a beautiful place with a nice, warm visitor's center!

The Whittier, Alaska, Marina in HDR Photography

I have been doing some experimenting lately with High Dynamic Range, or HDR, Photography. According to Trey Radcliff on his wonderful Stuck In Customs HDR Photography Blog, HDR "is a post-processing task of taking either one image or a series of images, combining them, and adjusting the contrast ratios to do things that are virtually impossible with a single aperture and shutter speed. Here is my latest HDR photo project, the Marina at Whittier, Alaska. You can see more HDR photos on my Flickr Photostream.
