Thank you as always Eva for the visit and kind comments.

All is well at my end but too busy for new photography right now.

Warm regards,

Mike

Magic light and great selective focus.

Mike

And a "wow" from me as well. The framing of those dunes do make them look like rolling waves in an amber sea. And I especially like the coarse/grainy/noisy texture and square framing. A beautiful photo.

Mike

The lines are really lovely the way the hair frames your face and the twist of your neck creates two beautiful curves. A truly wonderful portrait.

Mike

Thank you both Gabriel and Cris.

This area is a special place to me and I was pleased with how this particular image turned out. I really enjoy using infrared film on this boreal landscape.

Warm regards,

Mike

Just wow... original, creative and very beautiful.

Mike

A captivating study in grace, light and form. Very beautiful.

Mike

Thank you Pnina... as always you are so kind to take the time to visit.

Mike

She is a beauty :) And you captured her in an honest way. Great choice in framing.

Mike

You should be proud... they are both beautiful. You did the artist's work great justice by portraying it in an equally creative and original artistic manner.

Mike

A really stunning photo. The low perspective, selective focus and color palette all work beautifully together.

Mike

Another original and creative beauty.

Mike

Wonderfully creative and original. With a triple exposure, this was a very difficult composition to pre-visualize and pull off the exposure as beautifully as you did. A real work of art.

Mike

The colors, focus and framing are just perfect. Gorgeous photo.

Mike

The symbolism may be obvious, but it still works well.

I know you just got a new "digi-toy", but it would be great to see you still working with film as well.

Mike

Hello Ross,

Thanks for the vist and kind words. That bio photo of you on the Chilkoot Trail is impressive!

You should for sure seriously consider the winter Ferry trip you mentioned. This place is so beautiful in the winter... I almost wish the summer would never happen at all. I really suffer through the summer months with all of the craziness from the cruise ships, and I count the days until they leave. If you need any information on the AK Ferry, let me know and I'd be happy to mail it to you.

Cheers for now,

Mike

No bashing here... this is a wonderful photo! Maybe the highlights could be a bit less intense?

Mike

A really lovely image... full of atmosphere and beautifully interpreted.

Mike

This image, along with the rest in the series, are just amazing Kurt. Perfectly composed and exposed. I especially love how Cassiopeia jumps out at you in this photo.

Great work as always,

Mike

Hey Kurt... always great to hear from you.

I was just checking out your new astro-images and they are awesome!! The "midnight surf" images are amazing.

It has been a good hard winter. In fact, it is dumping snow as I write this... got a foot today, and will probably get another foot tonight. But that is great since the last few winters here have been very warm and wet. Cold and snowy are how winters are supposed to be, and I've been having fun snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The house has been pretty idle the past few months, since the only way to get up there now is on snowshoes, and it's not yet heated. But I'll be jumping back into it next month. Lots of wolf tracks up there in the snow last week when I checked on it, so I've got some "friends" watching the place for me :-)

Let me know when you'll be moving into the neighborhood,

Mike

Nicely framed, great warm tones and dramatic light all work to make a beautiful and moody image.

Mike

You continue to interpret your stunning landscape with great skill and vision. Thank you for sharing your land and your talents with us.

Mike

You framed this image beautifully by including a very nice foreground, and the exposure is perfect. Great capture.

Mike

I'm glad you were torn, since I was/am as well :-) It was a beautiful day to be out there with the camera.

Thank you as always for the visit and kind words.

Mike

The DOF, framing, tones, light, forms and textures are all just brilliant in this photo. Couldn't be any better.

Mike
