Behind The Lens
Location
On the Ruth Glacier, approx. 9 miles from Mount Denali.Time
It was taken between 5 and 6 PM, but it was taken at the end of May, when there was approx. 23 hours od daylight.Lighting
Like I said, it was almost vernal equinox, and almost 24 hours of daylight. The biggest problem with the lighting, was the glare from the snow on the camera's display screen.Equipment
No flash, no tripod, I do believe I used a 55-200 zoom lens.Inspiration
The best part of Alaska, for me, was the mountains. They are inspiring, beautiful works of nature. To awaken everyday and see those snow capped peaks was almost religious, like looking into the face of god.Editing
Nope.In my camera bag
Two zoom lens, 18 to 55mm, and 55 to 300 (I upgraded after Alaska). Extra memory cards, lens wipes. And a pen.Feedback
Carpenters say measure twice, cut once. I say bracket your pictures. Bracketing can help get the right shot.
