After giving out some tips to someone today about what to see and do in Alaska, I wanted to revisit what was the highlight of my trip…A two and a half hour flight-seeing trip that included landing on a glacier in the Sheldon Amphitheater at the hiking basecamp.
There is so much to tell about this photo. It’s probably worth at least a couple thousand words. I’ll have to save those for another time.

I have tens of thousands of photos that have been virtually piling up from years of travels. Kelli wanted to take some of them and hang them on her wall. Here’s one she picked out.
I have to admit I wasn’t too thrilled with it at first because the original just looked flat and unlifelike. But if you’ve been to this area of Yellowstone, you know it doesn’t even look lifelike when you are standing there.
So I took my novice photo processing skills and gave it a whirl. I think it’s OK for my level of processing ability. No, I didn’t add the rainbow; it appears for about 15 minutes a day if the sun is out.

I’ve been wanting to shoot a hawk for some time now, and so when I found this guy (or gal) sitting up in the oak tree in Kelli’s back yard just watching Kelli’s neighbor shovel snow, I went for it. I didn’t take long for him to spy my bright orange jacket though and he flew off before I was ready. (Note to self: get camera ready in the house.) I followed him around the neighborhood for a few minutes as he (or she) flew from tree to tree.
Unfortunately I had the 1.4 teleconverter on which doesn’t focus very fast. But I was surprised to see any really turned out since I was manually focusing in the below zero temperature. Most taken at about 560mm and are heavily cropped.

Sometimes nice photos are the simplest.

Today I dug up a photo of a couple years ago that I probably overlooked before because the tree in the foreground was way too dark. So I learned a little about dodging today to lighten it up. I also adjusted the colors a bit (probably too much) to bring it to life.

I’m not totally excited how this photo turned out, but since it got me to learn some functions of Photoshop I hadn’t used before, I’ll take it. What you don’t see is a ton of branches from the scraggly tree in the neighbors yard. A few remain, and the retouching work isn’t close to great, but I accomplished my goal today so I move on.
