I hate you Darin.
Not only do you know the best angles and ways to take photos, shadowing, black and white, whatever it is always looks awesome! I gotta get me a better camera. And a little more know how.
Sweet shots!

As usual, Darin’s photos are gorgeous.
How far away was that bear (Grizzly?!)? My daughter was just in Hatcher’s Pass, and I keep telling her there are probably bears around.
I wonder if you guys have crossed paths anywhere?
Right now she’s “camping” in Wrangell-St Elias Nat’l Park.

I wonder, if that bear is the one that tried to eat me from the conservatory? Either way, awesome shot. If it were from the conservatory though, where are other photos of animals? And if in wild, that had better be a VERY powerful telephoto lens!

Thank you.

I see my little buddy and bed mate Milo!!
And looks like Riley got bigger in past 2 years, and much more muscular too!
All again great photos!! Them bears, what a sight. And with Darin's camera, and his know how, they look like they are right there. When I was little we went to a Giants/Steelers game at Giants stadium. Sat about halfway up. Dad was really into it too and had his own darkroom and everything. He had 3-4 massive telephotos. He too me a photo of Mean Joe Greene and Lambert on the sideline and looks like we're in the front row they look so close and clear! Meanwhile, my cam would take a pic from halfway up, and it would look like we were sitting all the way up top!

Did you see any of the mountains while you were there? How many did you get to see in the distance while upon your travels, like maybe 2 or 3?
And damn, did ya see any of them that weren't just awesome looking?
How many shots did you get in total on your camera? I figured I would get a shot of anything cool, anything to be remembered. And found myself with my phone out almost at all times click clicking away!
Have you left?

we saw them on the low/no rain days, of which we had few. around wasilla they were plentiful. And they were beautiful - reminded me of the alps.
I think i took several hundred, if I recall. Few hundred. The rain and activity kinda limited things - my gear is weather resistant but I didn't wanna push it. i'm home in Oklahoma now - got in yesterday.

You still saw a lot then! They are at every turn as you saw, even if some having their heads lopped off. Maybe it'll be better for ya the next time you go.we saw them on the low/no rain days, of which we had few. around wasilla they were plentiful. And they were beautiful - reminded me of the alps.

Only a few hundred, but we know you choose wisely and get the best angles and ideas, so that's a ton.
Glad you made it back safely.
