I really love the Orton Effect, but it’s difficult to find a picture where it works well. I was playing around with some of my older photos and this one just became amazing once I processed it this way. Let me know what you think!

After going to see the glacier near Skagway, Alaska, we went nature scouting in the boat. We saw a couple eagles, a porpoise and a killer whale from very far away. I now have a new-found respect for bird photographers since I discovered that it is REALLY difficult to take in focus pictures of birds :)

We went on a whale finding expedition in Juneau, Alaska. It was absolutely incredible! One of the rules of whale finding is that the boat is not allowed to come within 100 yards of the whale. Well, this group of whales kept circling around us and one even slapped it’s tail within 5 feet of our boat (I could have reached out and touched it)! Unfortunately, I had my zoom lens on and wasn’t able to catch it because it was so close. Since they came so close to us, we weren’t allowed to turn on our engines until they were at least 100 yards away. So, we sat there on the water watching these magical creatures swim around us in circles.

While hiking in Juneau, Alaska, I took some photos of various lichen I found. Growing up in Arizona, I’ve never really encountered spaces where lichen were extremely prevalent and/or easy to spot. This type of lichen is called Witches’ Hair Moss, also known as Alectoria sarmentosa.

Outside of Skagway, Alaska we went on a glacier tour. I love this photo because it shows the grandeur and size of the glacier. If you notice from the way the ice looks, there’s actually a river underneath. The glacier on top (which stretches for miles) is melting. The water flows down underneath this ice bank which continually freezes and melts creating this river flowing effect in the formation.

Oh, Juneau, I miss you… :(
Alaskan King Crab on Flickr.
This is the Alaskan King Crab we caught on the fishing boat. Don’t you want to just snuggle up and give him a kiss? Or, boil and eat with some garlic butter?! :D
Goodbye on Flickr.
