Homer is one of the southern towns on the Kenai peninsula.

Denali is out today so I hope someone with a good camera gets some shots of it before the clouds come back!

Very nice effects, blackzzz01

Did you use image blending? Whatever you did turned beautiful images into even greater ones.

Thanks for the kind comment, Ray. Didn't use image blending...just got lucky with the lighting when after a quick shower the sun came out shortly before setting.

Default inspiring

My son and I plan to move from dismal Houston TX to Alaska next summer (June 2010). Your photos make me want to leave today.

In 2005 I had to retire prematurely due to poor health and I decided then that as soon as I was able I would move to someplace beautiful. We took our 1st trip to Alaska that summer... enough said.

Sometimes the only difference between an average Photographer and a Great Photographer is luck and timing...nice timing.

Timing is the difference in a great photograph. The difference between photographers is ability to get the timing right...

With photography (as opposed to e.g. painting where great art is never an accident) every photographer accidentally produces great photography now and then! That's the "luck" part.

The little trick to being a "good photographer" is producing great photographs either on demand much more often than average... and the biggest trick to that might be selecting which of the images are great photographs (and using those while tucking the others away never to ever be seen again).

Now, to be honest, about 98% of the "great" photographs that are posted here should have been tucked away and forgotten if great photographs are what we want, because they aren't. But that isn't what we really want.

What we all love to look at are the wonderful snapshots! And foo on great photography. Don't mistake them for great photography, and enjoy what they really are. Snapshots are a fabulous slice of life.
