Exit Glacier 8

Taken around 8:00 a.m. Used a monopod. Adjusted and cropped in Photoshop cs. Yes, I know that 800 speed film is not optimal for landscape photography. I am working on composition and am also working within a budget. I used 400 and 800 speed film for this entire trip in Alaska merely for the flexibility ... I wanted to be able to shoot a couple of pics of a mountain then of a bear then of a building in changing weather conditions (often overcast) and with different length lenses without having to change out film. Thanks for the comments on film ... next time I go to Alaska (!!) I will take some 100 ISA with me!

After hiking around the sides and face of the glacier, I followed a path that took me farther downstream to look back up at the glacier. Note that the stream you see is SOLELY fed by glacial run-off. When at the face of the glacier, you could SEE the water just pouring off of the thing. In order to get an idea of the perspective of what you're looking at here, look at two other images in this folder, especially Exit Glacier 5 and the attached picture in the thread. You'll realize that what you're seeing here is actually rather large.

I just looked at nr. 7 and you told me that was your last. And now I am with nr. 8.

I am getting cold, LOL

Oh, I'm sorry to be confusing ... I mean the last of the ABSTRACTS. I don't consider this to be very abstract. I will actually be uploading ONE MORE ("exit glacier 9") hopefully tomorrow ... and it will also be NOT abstract. :-)

These are awesome pictures, Lou Ann, but, since you know the actual scale, you must at times feel the same frustration that I feel at the impossibility of capturing the grandeur of scale of nature with mere photography. I still like them, though!
