Karen -

Looks to me that you have both the hand-holding and "finding good vanatge points" parts down pat! :smile:

 

[Commodorefirst]

Awesome, love the environment and the glacial ice! Congrats on the big glass!

 

[gordong]

Karen, love that first picture! Were you using your 200-400 lens?

 

[james thiel]

Karen you did great with the big glass and hand holding. Love that first shot.

 

[Butlerkid]

You are all so kind! The day was miserable - totally a bust. We were in a area likened to the Alps - and we had trouble even seeing the mountains! With the rain coming down pretty hard and the bobbing boat, it was a very frustrating and disappointing day.

#1 with the wet eagle, ice and gray background says it all!

So I was pretty surprised to find any salvageable shots!

 

[siinjen]

You nailed it.

 

[EvanRothman]

Fantastic pics, Karen!

Good stuff for the conditions you had Karen...Alaska can be a tricky place to get a picture of wildlife if the weather doesn't cooperate.

Wow Karen, your first capture is amazing, I'm guessing that you are enjoying your 200-400mm lens? Keep posting, I am enjoying your photography very much.

You did just fine, Karen - nice work!

 

[johncarol]

Oh man I did not need these, just got our first cool weather and now I am freezing. Love the first especially the blue tint in the ice, COOL.

WOW JUST AMAZING. Makes my like my Philly Eagles even more

 

[Butlerkid]

Wow - thanks for all the comments! The eagle in #1 didn't look like he was having a good day either!

The eagle shot in #1 coveys the difficulty of the day. Great job in spite of the weather conditions..

 

[STBear]

Looks to me like you actually had a good. Could it have been better sure but Alaska and eagles is a good day and a great shot to prove it.

 

[Butlerkid]

Thank you both!

 

[Alharcourt]

Excellent Job

Thanks for Sharing and at least to me, #1 says that even the majestic eagle has another hard day at the office. I think your photo offers a brilliant perspective I've not seen before. Well done--Al
