More from Alaska: General Landscape While Traveling
May 18, 2014 11:17:42 #
We took the combined land and cruise tour through Alaska. The photos included today were all taken from a train or a boat and show some of the landscape (also waterscape). I think it is a good combination of some of the many beautiful sights to see in Alaska.

I think with a little LR, you have some spectacular photos. What a wonderful trip!

I can tell that if I booked a tour like this one, and happened to leave my camera at home, I'd have to buy another to complete the trip. That actually happened to me at Yellowstone National Park. The airlines had re-routed us, and my baggage didn't catch up until the next day (including my Canon SLR). That was a costly mishap as we saw some gorgeous scenery that would have been worth capturing.
I now own a Canon SX50HS, which is small enough to fit in my carry-on, and would fill in a few days without a DLSR. But for the shots shown here, I would have wanted to get the full resolution of my Canon 5D MKIII or 7D.

1 camera 2 lens plus 2x converter in a camera bag the size of a carry on is all that's about all I need.If longer reach is needed you can usually rent.

Thinking of doing something similar. The photos make it more of a urge to do it. I like the pictures.

Thanks so much for 'bringing back memories'.
Each of us strive to make each photo "tell a story". But when you place a number of them together in a 'show', I'm told we need a "story line" that keeps an audience interested. In one article that I read, the story line was equal in importance to the photos.
Here's my attempt of doing both for our Alaska Trip 'show'. As you will quickly see it is mostly of stills and the video included isn't HD. Hopefully you will enjoy it.

LR?? Light Room? I don't typically post process any of my photos, except for some cropping. For me, what you see is what you get. I would prefer to spend my time in the field with my camera rather than at the computer post processing. With as many digital photos that one can take in a single trip, I imagine it takes a lot of time after the fact at the computer.

Interesting video, your trip makes mine look tame. You saw a lot of places in the RV that were were never close to. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to Calliwa and Grayplayer for your positive comments about my video.
For those of you planning to go to Alaska, we were told, and I agree, to spend as much time there as possible. It is a BIG state. We spent a full 3 months north of the USA/Canadian Border. AND, many have told me there are TWO ALASKA s. One by land and the other by sea. Both equally beautiful! But, I get sea sick so I 'vetoed' my wife's vote. That was hard to do.
