This image was created last week on the Matanuska Glacier in the Chugach National Forest in Alaska. I spent 2 nights photographing the glacier, and on the second night I caught a dramatic fiery sunset! If you followed along on my recent trip via Twitter/Facebook you might have seen some of my iPhone “sketches”, but nothing beats the “real deal” images from my Canon 5D mkII. Getting to this location on the tongue of the glacier was challenging. It involved crossing ankle-drowning silt and hopping over a few small crevasses. Once I found this precariously balanced rock for a foreground subject, I just waited for something magical to happen and it did.
I have several presentations scheduled in October. I’d love to meet some more of my fans/fellow photographers, so please mark down these dates:
October 8th at 7pm, I will be giving a Free Presentation of my award-winning images at the Seattle REI. I will be showcasing many new images from my summer trips to Alaska & British Columbia, in addition to my “classics”.
October 9th from 6-9pm, I will be at the Washington Wilderness Coalition displaying prints and answering questions as part of the monthly Greenwood neighborhood artwalk.
October 17 from 11-2pm, I will be teaching an Outdoor Photography Clinic at the Seattle REI. As I did at my last clinic, I will be covering everything from camera basics to website SEO & social networking. Participants are invited to bring 2-3 images for review. The cost is $75 with a class limit of 12. To sign up please email Chelsea Beck or call 206-223-1944.
