remembering the cold
16 Jun
As I was looking for a certain file I came across one of the last set of photos I took before we left Alaska for our year long adventure. These were taken mid-February and, yes, it was a bit chilly outside!
I couldn’t help but post just a couple from this day. We actually had fun traipsing about on the lake just at sundown. It is a good reminder for me to get out there and enjoy the neverending heat wave that the southlands have to offer. As I am swating bugs, applying sunscreen, perpetually searching for shade and always glistening with sweat, I need to look over these photos and be thankful for our temporary “change” in lifestyle!
you have no clue what a sucky summer we’re having. still no days over 65. Our croquet party was so cold we could see our breath.
zack arias in a few weeks. i’m excited. i hope we have good weather for that.
lol luv it!
i absolutely love this shot….i would love to get shots like that of my two dogs. what kind of camera do you use for that? its beautiful!
Hi Michelle- I’m pretty sure that was with a Canon 5D. The key to that shot was trying to expose for the backlighting rather than just letting the camera pick the settings automatically. You can probably get close with most any camera that adjusts manually. Let me know if you need more “how to” specifics and thanks so much for leaving a comment!
The shot of the dog had my husband and I both speechless. We’re going to be moving to Anchorage in the next year or so, and I’m an aspiring photographer. Your work is inspiring!
