It’s mid-March and while we’ve reached Daylights Savings, we still have yet to get enough heat to coax our flora into coming out of their long nap. Today I took a walk along Auke Lake and took a few images with the macro lens. Enjoy.

Daffodil
Over this last Christmas I invested in a Nikkor 200mm Micro lens. The term “micro” really means “macro”, but I guess they wanted to be special. I don’t know why because the lens is special enough without any fancy naming. I’ve been enjoying capturing images that I never thought of before, and being drawn to notice details on walks that previously I couldn’t have cared less. At any rate, I’ve enjoyed it. I hope you do too.
Auroras
On Heather’s Birthday, the UAF Aurora Forecast showed to hit a 4/10. It doesn’t sound like much, but for those living in Juneau, it means that it’s very likely that the Northern Lights will be visible provided the sky is clear. Lately we’ve had a cold snap and with the skies clear, I was excited to get out to see some Aurora. As it turns out, I’ve seen other postings (through facebook) suggesting that my late-night session in the cold wasn’t nearly as spectacular as earlier in the night, but when your wife wants to head to bed… Well, who am I to argue? I wound up getting out of bed at around 2:45am and headed light hunting. Here’s my favorite shot from the evening:
Juneau Wedding: Kaleigh & Desmond
This Saturday, I assisted Penny McGoey of Becoming Images with a beautiful wedding and wonderful reception. It it always a blast spending time with Penny – she’s a ton of fun, and we’re a great pair who work together well to “git’r done!”
As she’s the primary photographer, she will have the final images (including my own), but I enjoy the creative process so I narrowed my 1100’ish images down to less than 20, and then put some finishing touches on a few to share. Again, check with Becoming Images for her amazing images, but for now, enjoy my teaser.
Thanks for looking!
