As I looked through all the video clips from this trip I tried to figure out how to edit them together, keep em short, and yet still convey the remarkable adventure. I decided for this first video I'd leave it intact even though a big part is just flying in Alaska. I hope that those who've never been to Alaska get a sense of what I felt.

After flying across the Cook Inlet from Sterling we landed an inland river to turn on the camera, then took off and headed up country.

(If you get "something in your eye" while watching this you're in good company, I did)

That was wonderful, thanks!

Wow ! ...Beautiful...just beautiful...

Wow! Simply wow! And to think thats now known as phils backyard!

OMG Wow!

Very nice! Neutral Density filter will get rid of the propeller artifact.

Haven't been able to find one for the Drift Ghost S camera.

This video isn't as dramatic as the first, and perhaps only cool to me because it was my first time on a glacier. But here it is anyways.

You can go on-line or to a good camera store and purchase Neutral Density filter "paper"--a 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of it. Then cut out a small lens-sized circle and place it behind your Ghost cam lens. That's what I did for an original GoPro a couple of years go. Takes a bit of practice so you don't end up with wrinkles when you install it but one can do it. Works.

The guy at VibeX sells a filter kit for the Drift Ghost. They stick on externally. We've used them a bunch, seem to stay on well.

I'll give those filter selections a try, thanks. In the meantime here is another from that first day of flying.

Here is the last video I took from my July trip. What an awesome place, and more importantly awesome new friends.

Looks awesome, Phil!

Great performance!

I was blessed to have the use of Bob's SuperCub and Bobbie flying us around for four days. Looking for to making lots of videos in the SQ2 next year.

Will you keep SQ2 at your new residents? Very cool!

That's my plan. Then use the 185 to travel back and forth, or a smoker if in a hurry.

Paradise. Nothing, I know of, is better than flying Alaska. Very good move Phil. I love Alaska too

Great for floats too (my "signature" SE Alaska video):

Nice vid. Although I was lost cause I've only seen that part of Alaska in the rain.

Very nice play ground!

I'm going through Alaska withdrawals so I decided to put together another video from the trip up to see my new place. It's a long one (36 minutes) cause it's my video and I need my fix. But I think you'll like it anyway. I promise I'll get the ND filter thing soon.
