Williwaw Lakes - Chugach Mountains, Anchorage, Alaska. It was just another rough day here in Alaska. I did have to travel quite some distance for this hike, though. OK, OK, it's still technically within Anchorage, but it's about 5 miles away from my more usual hiking locations. OM-D E-M5 II with Lumix G 12-32 lens. Two versions. One is taken from the pass, the other much lower from the bluff.

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.

Watercolor Sunset. The sun was setting and the alpenglow on the mountain peak was visible through the falling snow. The softening effect is due to the atmospheric conditions. Chugach Mountains, Eagle River, Alaska. Sony A7 Mk2 with OM Zuiko 300/4.5 lens. Minimally processed in Adobe Lightroom (cropping, white-balance).
