Rare Sunrise in Alaska

My blog post last week pair an old edit from Alaska 2019 vs a 2024 edit. In that spirit I was looking through my RAW images reliving my Alaskan experience when I stumbled on the elusive Alaskan Sunrise images I took. In May of 2019 I took an Alaskan cruise and cloudy was the forecast 99% of the time while there but one very, very early morning I got lucky.

The morning we were sailing into Glacier Bay, I was the crazy photographer dragging on multiple layers, climbing to the upper decks and making my way to the bow to photograph the landscape. Also the Park Rangers that would be joining our ship to guide us through the Bay.

Inspired at 2 AM

After watching the YouTube video on Sam Abell’s talk about The Life of a Photograph, I was inspired.

I am not sure but I do know the elements he talks about looking for to make are images I have done, perhaps not all the time but the images I have taken popped into my mind.
