    Elevation

    The foreground is not camera distortion. It is the actual side of the mountain that the Denali park road is built on. I was sitting on the shoulder of the road with my toes dangling off the side of the road. This loaction is known as Polychrome pass. The elevation is 3,695 feet

  • Mount Mather re-edit

    Mount Mather re-edit

    I re-edited this one to give it more of a feel for what the landscape actually looked like. It was a dark and gloomy day with sporadic breaks in clouds when the sun would shine through. The first edit bothered me because I felt that the lighting was all wrong. The image seemed too bright and cheery. The tall mountain in the distance is Mount Mather. It stands at 12,123 feet tall. I was pretty lucky to get the light rays before they disappeared and the rain started.

    Worked to Death

    Taking pictures of the wildflowers and bees I noticed that this little guy wasn't moving. After watching it a little longer I realized that this bee died right in the middle of collecting nectar. Just to be sure I gave him a little nudge. It didn't move at all. It remained firmly grasped to the flower.
