 Calm waters reflecting the pinks and blues of an Alaskan sunset stretch into the distance where, on the horizon, mountains roll far into the distance in layers. The sky is full of low clouds that look slate blue and periwinkle, pink and pale blue, salmon and tangerine. The sun is a lemon smudge behind some clouds. This photo was taken from the deck of the small 24-passenger vessel on which we toured southeast Alaska. It was July 3, 2016--five years to the day since my father passed away. My father traveled the world for business, but never had the chance to see Alaska. I know he would have loved it. I didn't do anything to enhance this image. This is simply how stunning Alaska can be. Taken with my Nikon D5100 on manual, 55mm, f/4, 1/100.

 A gravel trail leads into a dimly lit forest area, rich with vegetation. The trees and shrubs are bright green and the light is soft. Photo taken in Petersburg, Alaska with my Nikon D5100 | f/4, 1/50
 A choppy, deep blue sea with the horizon line at the very top of the frame is interrupted by the fluke of a humpback whale diving back down under the waters. Nikon D5100 | 200mm | f/13, 1/640 
I took this moody image of the sun setting over the Pacific in 2007 when I was on vacation in Costa Rica. The only camera I had was my Pentax IQ Zoom 135mm film camera. I was so surprised when I got the film developed and found that this image turned out.
