I'm working on becoming a better photographer. Image-making was always a big part of my life, and both sides of my family contributed to that interest. I love the photo (posted on my Facebook page) of my grandfather's photo studio -in a Displaced Persons Camp in Austria, from the late 1940's.
On occasion, I'll post a photo that I consider compelling, and commentary -especially remarks that help me improve-are welcome.
This photo was taken during my trip to Anchorage, Alaska about 5 years ago. This was my computer wallpaper for the longest time.It was shot with a Canon Digital Rebel XT, Sigma 18:125 lens, manual focus, and auto everything else. I really liked the multiple layers in the photo. From the water, to the glacier, the woods, the fog, and the mountain just poking through the mist, this shot was largely the result of good timing.
I took a glacier cruise on my last day in Alaska, where I snapped an awful lot of photos. This next photo is my current wallpaper:
Again, there's a lot going on within the frame. There were three things that I hoped to see when I was in Alaska: a bald eagle (check), salmon in the wild (check) and a glacier (multiple checks just in this photo). I was in Alaska just after Labor Day in 2007, and it was still sweltering back home. In Alaska? Not so much. Pro tip: Glaciers are cold. Wear something warm.
