From Alaska
Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at 6:29AM TOG took the D80 up to Alaska on his fishing trip last week. He came back with mostly good shots. The learning curve on the D80 meant that some of the shots just weren't quite in focus... which is unfortunate because I think he has a real eye.
So I snuck into my old camera case and downloaded a few shots! Wanna see?
This first shot is Ketchikan at night. Or early in the morning. Or dusk. Not sure. But I'm impressed because he didn't take the tripod and I've had no end of issues shooting lights at night without picking up vibration...
Next we have a shot of this eagle. TOG had caught a small fish and returned it to the sea to live. It wasn't doing well, and was kind of swishing on the surface. It caught the eye of this eagle who did... well... did what eagles do... I think this is the best shot TOG took.
Moving on... here's the obvious shot of TOG holding one of his many salmon. It's a lovely fish. Would you like to know a secret? He tastes good too. I had a little chunk last night and he was delightful!
Finally... TOG took this shot just for me. Because he knew it would set me off.
As a dedicated fan of Deadliest Catch, and a former resident of Alaska, I know where the Bering Sea is. It is NOT near Ketchikan. So these folks are obviously luring the tourists off the cruise ships for....
...their official "Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Tour"... In Ketchikan. I don't know what part of the Bering Sea they're going to be shown on an excursion from Ketchikan... and yes, TOG was right. I'm outraged.
Thanks Honey.... for letting me show off your shots! Even though I didn't ask. I'm sure if I had, you would have said yes. Right? Honey? Sweetheart?
Asthmagirl out!

That eagle shot is fantastic...as are the rest. And that crab tour? No comment.
I've only been there once (Alaska, not the Bering Sea:-) and it is the most heavenly place I've ever seen. Love his shots. Right there with you on the night shots. Not a good one yet. Tog's eagle is glorious. And that salmon....all I can say is "Gimme some!!"
See you next Thurs. (looks like all is going well here in MO so I'll be back in time. This is good on so many different levels.)
Awesome Captures!!! I would love to be there...and I would be the one on that fishing tour that wouldn't know the difference.
TOG did a great job shooting! Love the eagle shot.
Awesome shots .. the trick to low light shots w/o a tripod is being able to hold your breath .. something you should not try to do!
See ya next Thursday!!!!!!!!!
Great shots, TOG! I would LOVE to go to Alaska. He is one lucky guy ;0)
Wow. I love Alaska. Can't wait to go back but that Bering Sea this is lame.
I want to go to Alaska. that first shot is breath taking. TOG is off to a good start with the D80.
That first shot is great, especially without a tripod.
And would ya look at the size of that salmon? Wow. Too bad I hate any and all fish and seafood. I bet it was yummy says Meg who is standing over my shoulder, reading this. She on the other hand, LOVES fish!
