He was standing there waiting for his ski partner. I took the oppritunity to capture somone posing for me, unknowingly.
The sun rises with the incoming tide. I did some basic adjustments. I added a couple of gradient filters and a radient filter on the foreground

The entry road to Independence Mine State Park. The northern lights hung out across the top of the mountains all night. Luckily the milky way was shinning bright.
This was taken on the first couple of miles of Portage Valley road. I was heased home after a bust on taking pictures at Byron glacier because of bad weather.

Happy New Years from Anchorage, Alaska
Nature is an amazing artist. The lines. The colors. The formations.
A beautiful night at Portage Lake. The reflection of the stars and the milky way. All bathed in the soft flourescent glow of the tunnel lights on the way to Whittier. You can actually see the city lights of Whittier shinning over the middle of the left snow covered mountain
This is what it looks like when you do a long exposure of your house with laser lights. On this side of the house I have 1 static and 2 motion laser lights. On the opposite side of the garage I have 2 lights on the other side of the house.

Happy New Years from Anchorage, Alaska
A beautiful sunrise along Turnagain Arm, Alaska. This shot was taken on the morning of the winter solstice
I really wanted to get this shot for a couple of years. I was finally able to time it so that the ski resort was closed, meaning all the people were gone, but the ski slopes lights were still on.
This was taken during on Wednesday, December the 13th, during the Geminid meteor shower. Unfortunately and surprisingly I did not capture a single meteor in this shot. Every time that I would turn my camera to take a shot a meteor would fall in the opposite part of the sky. Very frustrating.
A view of Denali mountain through the grasses at the Ocean front trail park in Anchorage, AK. This was shot on 12/1/2017
Following the morning curves to another beautiful Alaskan sunrise
My new Haida filters arrived for my Tamron 15-30mm. One is a graduated filter with a maximum of ND 3 stops. The other is a full ND 8. Of course I had to test them out. Unfortunatley I got out too late to truly test them out.
Sunsets and sunrises in the month of January can be pretty amazing in Alaska, The sun rises around 10 in the morning and sets around 4 in the afternoon.
Could this be the heavenly face of God looking down? Checking on the amazing landscape of Alaska.
The end of the line for the tram from the Alyeska hotel.
Happy New Years from Anchorage, Alaska
This was taken during the amazing winter solstice sunrise. Instead of facing the sunrise I faced opposite direction. I think the view was still pretty amazing.

A wide angle shot of Turnagain arm. Taken on 12/13/2017 during the Geminid meteor shower.
Last year the Alaska Railroad constructed a fence at the first slow moving vehicle pullout. They did this becasue too many people were crossing the railroad tracks at a very unsafe place. The only way to take pictures at this location are to hold your camera above the chainlink fence.
one of the last buildings left over from the town of Portage. The small town was completely washed away by the Tsunami folloing the 1964 Alaska earthquake
The perfect view of the colors of the sunset as seen from right outside of Girdwood, Alaska.
The end of the day for skiing and snowboarding. The end of the day for sunlighjt. The end of this series of pictures. I hope you have enjoyed my day spent in Girdwood. Tomorrow I will be heading to Byron Glacier and Virgin creek falls.
Sunset along the upper end of Turnagain arm. The cloud inversion alomost looks like a down comforter.
The colors of the morning rising overTurnagain Arm near Indian, AK
This is the matching photo to "Opposite of Sunrise". This was taken a few minutes before, the reason for it being a little darker and more towards the blue hour. As the sun came up the sky went through a rapid change in color. Eventually turning the fire orange/red that I posted on previous pictures
Frozen tide along Turnagain arm during sunset.
What looks like an art piece is actually a tree that has fallen over at the Eagle river nature center
