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.

Gave this a 6/6 because of the color and composition, and because how many people would even think of making this shot? Not many. Also, from my perspective the 800 speed film didn't hurt you on this shot. Good Job.

That is impressive! I would like to have seen a bit more of the river in the foreground to give scale and contrast with the ice.
