First Snow on the Eagle River. Chugach Mountains, Alaska. Panasonic DMC-GX85 with Lumix G 25/1.7 lens.
Setting Sun and Falling Snow. Chugach Mountains. Eagle River, Alaska. Olympus E-1 with 50-200 SWD Lens. "They say" the E-1 just isn't very good. ISO 100, F5.6, 1/60, 200mm, monopod. Processed in Adobe Lightroom. Keen observers will note that this is like the previous picture, but was taken the following evening. These two pictures also illustrate a little bit how the E-1 renders tonalities and highlights as compared to CMOS-based cameras.
Last Light on the Chugach Mountains. Eagle River, Alaska. Olympus E-3 with 50-200 SWD lens. ISO 125, F5.6, 1/160, 200mm, handheld. Processed in Lightroom.
Byron Glacier and Fall Colors. Near Portage, Alaska. Olympus E-3 with 50-200 SWD lens. ISO 320, F8, 1/125, 83mm. Processed in Adobe Lightroom.
Fortunately, Alaska highway signage is educational. Can you imagine how tourists must feel seeing these big solid gray things and not having a clue what they are? Seward Highway, Near Beluga Point. Olympus E-3 with 12-60 SWD lens.
Path and Wet Leaves. Dew Mound Trail. Eagle River Nature Center, Eagle River, Alaska. Sony A7 Mk2 with OM Zuiko 35/2 lens.
Seeing the Tree for the Forest. Eagle River Nature Center, Eagle River, Alaska. Sony A7 mk2 with OM Zuiko 100/2 lens. Edited to taste in Adobe Lightroom CC.
This was the view that greeted up Sunday Morning at the house. The fall colors this year are intense. Olympus E-3 with ZD 12-60 lens.
Pond in the Tundra. Denali Highway. Alaska. Photo taken with the Sony A7 Mk2, with OM Zuiko 100/2 lens.
Here is my current "road trip travel kit". Everything goes into the two big bags. I also will bring a small bag for a quick minimalist kit to go for a hike, which I can toss in just what I want to carry for the moment.
On the left is the Sony A7 Mk2, Olympus OM Zuikos 21/3.5, 28.2, 50/1.4, 100/2, 200/4, 300/4.5, 1.4x Teleconverter, extension tubes, batteries, and a Sekonic L-508 meter. All placed in a KATA SB-902 bag.
On the right is the Olympus E-3, 12-60 SWD, 50-200 SWD, Panasonic DMC-GX85, Lumix 12-32, 25/1.7, 45-150, batteries, LED light, polarizer, remote release and batteries. All placed in a LowPro SlingShot 300AW bag. The SlingShot, when properly configured, allows for full access to the contents without taking it off or fully opening it up.
The small bag, in the middle, which I use for day-hikes with limited gear, is a Naneu Pro TS-10B.
