Images for the Future

After returning from my visit to Alaska's Southeastern coast where I got to once again see magnificent tidewater glaciers calving, black bears catching salmon, Bald Eagles soaring down mountain sides to the ocean, I have been looking at the images from the trip.
One of the advantages of digital photography is the ability to capture images on my CF card as opposed to the film I used to buy. This trip I shot about 6,000 images. Yes, that is six thousand.
Often the id= best image comes down to what was depth field in each image and sometimes it is the angle of a tree or plant as the wind has tossed them. Sometimes it is simply the light streaming through the canopy, highlighting the height of the canopy. Like the Black Bear With Salmon shown here, it was the motion of the water and the bear that makes this one a keeper!
Being a photographer is a blessing. I get to take images of God's work "now" for others to see in the future. Glaciers and rainforests change. Glaciers advance, trees grow, age, loose limbs and such. My "now" images record the now, and remind me that the only constant in my life is God's love and his glorious works all around me. Alaska Geographic can give you great resources for Alaska's beauty.
Stay well and enjoy God's beauty.
