Alien Moonrise over Twin Peaks

Alien Moonrise over Twin Peaks - Goat Mountain. Chugach Mountains, Alaska. Photo taken from the Knik River Access along the Glenn Highway. Panasonic DMC-GX85 with Olympus DZ 50-200 SWD lens. This is not a composite image, but was just done with (heavy handed, and very excessive) editing in Adobe Lightroom.

When photographing the scene, I used -2 stops exposure compensation to keep the moon from clipping too much, and then was able to edit to taste (tasteless?) in Lightroom.

Canadian Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly

Canadian Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly and Dandelions. Spring has arrived in Alaska! I suppose I should mow pretty soon, but wanted to make sure the bees and butterflies had something to work with first. Photo taken with the Panasonic DMC-GX85 with OM Zuiko 300/4.5 (Silvernosed) and OMZ 1.4x Teleconverter. Handheld. No extension tubes were used, but this was right near the minimum focus distance. Additional cropping and rotation done in Lightroom.
