A few from our recent Alaska vacation


Recommended Posts

I realize these are probably lacking when it comes to the technical aspects, but thought I would post anyways. Heck, some of them aren't even in good focus. :o

 

One of my favorites from the trip.

We were about 30 yards from this grizzly.

Not in good focus, but I still liked the shot.

I'll get to posting on some sharing site so you can get the big ones soooome day. But here are a few that I got last week.

 

I have a new appreciation for the challenges of BIF getting focus and expore right, especiall the heads of bald eagles! How also regret that I only brought 200mm and a 14TCE mated to my slower focusing D5K with the D700 with my 17-35. If I had known I'd get bear I'd have rented a 300 or 400 2.8 :D

 

The D700 is no more sadly :mad:, but that story for a different time and place :o

Wow! Very nice. I wish my photos were half as sharp as yours.

Just showed your photos to my Hubby and his reply was.... Gee, we didn't get to see this when we were on our cruise in May.. By the way, it was our first Alaskan cruise and we really had a great time!!! Thanks for sharing your photos

You're welcome. :) While we very happy with the amount of wildlife we saw, some people we talked to had seen even more. (Moose, lynx, Wolf pups) I can't believe I didn't see one moose the whole time we where there! lol
