Anchorage Sunset by Jason Lanier

This image was taken just outside of Anchorage Alaska on the road that leads down towards Whittier and Seward. During the summer you have to wait a LONG time to get a sunset because it stays light for so long, but when they come they are almost always worth it!

Next Workshop: Las Vegas, Nevada- right after WPPI!!!

Camera settings: Nikon D700, 1/160 sec at f/5.6, 105mm at ISO 100, flash did not fire.  Taken at 10:11pm on July 7, 2012 by Jason Lanier.

Swanson River, Alaska

This image was taken at the Swanson River in Alaska which is a beautiful area near Captain Cook's Beach in the Kenai Peninsula.  For this shot I used a neutral density filter to slow down the shutter to give the water a creamier look and bring out some of the color from the sky into the water.  The best thing is you have to always be alert for bears, so no relaxing too much while you're shooting!

Polar Bear Swimming Pool

This is an image of the Matanuska Glacier that I shot in 2012.  I could just imagine Polar Bears swimming around for a little break in this amazing place.  If you haven't been you should schedule it on your bucket list.  This water actually lead to a larger pool of water that was just amazing....

Old Denali Highway, less traveled, more beautiful

Doesn't this just look good enough to drink?  This image was taken at the end of the old Denali Highway which is an amazing road that doesn't get much traffic at all anymore since the new highway was built years ago.  We found so many gems on this stretch of road that I was so happy we didn't pass it up.  It is passable in an RV, you just have to take your time and you'll be fine unless you're traveling it in the winter time.

Glacier Calving

This is an image of the Northwestern Glacier in Alaska calving while I was there in July of 2012.  Wanna know how big this actually is?  Take a look at the bottom center of the picture where the ice meets the water.  You will see a bird flying in the middle of it all.  When you scale the bird to the glacier, it gives you much greater appreciation for just how magnificent these glaciers are....the boat was a ways away and once the wave got to us it was quite large!

Reason #1 to attend a photo workshop- Learn to take your own great family portraits!

This image is of my family on the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska in July of 2012.  This image was taken on a tripod and was only developed using Lightroom.  This image wasn't processed using Photoshop at all.

There are a lot of people that come to my workshops ranging from amateur, hobbyist, enthusiast, semi pro and pro.  One of the number 1 reasons I always hear as to why people come to my workshops is because they truly want to start taking great shots of their own family.  And if you think about it, what better reason is there to learn photography than to capture and chronicle your own family adventure?  

I'd love to see you at one of my workshops this year....and if you would like a workshop in your own area, all you have to do is get 5 people organized and we will schedule it for your area!

Just the Two of Us..

This image was taken during my excursion to the Tracy Arm Fjord back in June of 2011.  It was an amazing trek, and when we came upon this lone seal in the middle of the water with all this ice, we all felt a little sorry for him....especially when he turned and looked at us like you see here.  Hope you like it!

Tracy Arm Fjord Cruise Adventure

I have been on a lot of excursions, but none has ever been better than the one I took to the Tracy Arm Fjord out of Juneau Alaska.  It was seriously something that we still talk about to this day.  I always love to take shots like this one that have a portion of the boat in them so I can see myself back there, at that moment.  If you have the chance...DO NOT pass up the opportunity to go on this adventure!
