If the recent Alaska Trip Report wasn't enough, this is even more a reminder that I'll need at least 2 weeks to get to and from Alaska to explore some of this area.

Read the post yesterday, Amazing photos and a good read.

I've seen Simons photography pop up in several places and it's always spectacular. It makes me want to get serious about my own photography (as if I have time). It's amazing to me how he gets his pictures to be so sharp, and bright, and the colours so vibrant. I can get myself to spots with good subject matter but the pictures I take never turn out like that.

This is usually solved with $$$$ and time flexibility.

Good glass can get you a lot of the way there. Then shooting when light is favorable.

Shooting in RAW and using a good workflow to get the most out of the image data.

Easier said than done.

I have watched Simon doing this for years , the time he puts in to get these shots and dedication to his art is amazing.

Often when we are fogged in he sits by the lake waiting for the fog to brake and just get the right light and angle for that perfect shot.

He is a genuine and nice guy, in turn the pilots are happy to work with him to get these awesome shots when they see him

with camera in Hand.

Looking forward to many more of his great shots.
