THIS IS A SCHEDULED POST
This was taken in the Tracy Arm, Alaska last year. The glacier there is quite large like everything in Alaska. We were lucky to hear and see pieces of the glacier fall into the bay. What an incredible place!! It’s another image I reworked. I’m really noticing that I don’t like my older images. lol. Maybe I can rework some old ones while I recover. 🙂

Wow!
August 8, 2014 at 7:42 am
I love that I got a ‘wow’ from you. Thank you!

Thank you so much 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 3:03 am
Beautiful Image. I’ll be there soon. Thanks for the inspiration.
August 8, 2014 at 7:43 am
I’m glad you like it Rich. Thank you for looking! And omg…you will adore Alaska. It’s one of my favorite places on the planet!
August 8, 2014 at 3:21 am
Alaska is one of four States that I have not been to – and it looks very beautiful in your image. Certainly reworking and/or sorting through and archiving images would be the thing to do during recovery. Nice rework Laura!
August 8, 2014 at 7:44 am
Oh Robert, you must make a trip. I would highly recommend it. It’s so stunning I can’t even begin to describe it! MASSIVE and GORGEOUS are two words I can use. Thanks for the compliment on my rework. 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 8:29 am
I’ll take that as good advice for a trip!
August 8, 2014 at 8:34 am
Definitely! I can give you some pointers too in what to see.
August 8, 2014 at 4:06 am
We learn more tricks. Great image
August 8, 2014 at 7:44 am
Tricks???? What tricks. 😛 Thank you!
August 8, 2014 at 8:25 am
Technique….
August 8, 2014 at 8:27 am
yes.. technique. 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 4:28 am
Oh Laura, that’s just stunning! The raw power of nature. What an amazing place to visit. My thoughts are with you for the operation and your recovery! I’ve been under the knife enough times myself now so I have an idea of how you’re feeling. It’s not the operations themselves that worry me so much as the recovery! As patient as I can be when photographing wildlife I am the most impatient patient 😉 Hopefully this will make the world of difference to your life and free you up from some of the pain! Good luck my friend x
August 8, 2014 at 7:45 am
Thank you so much Sarah. 🙂 It really is an incredible place that left a huge impression on me. And yes…sadly what you say is so true and I”m sorry you know this well. Ugh! I’m a very impatient patient as well. I hope it makes a difference for me too. Only a few more days now…
August 8, 2014 at 2:47 pm
You’ll be through the other side of it all before you know it Laura! I’m sure you’ll have fun stalking us all during your recovery. Just remember that laughter is the very best medicine so I prescribe you the full series of Bagpuss followed by The Wombles with a healthy dose of Simon’s Cat 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 3:02 pm
hahaha I WILL stalk you. BWHAHAHAHA…. I’m glad I have everyone here to make me smile. Thank you! Bagpuss lol.
August 8, 2014 at 3:44 pm
You’d better! I may even manage a special silly post just to keep you giggling 😉
August 8, 2014 at 5:39 am
Breathtaking!
August 8, 2014 at 7:46 am
That’s about how it is all over Alaska. Thank you!
August 8, 2014 at 5:41 am
Beautiful capture
August 8, 2014 at 7:46 am
Thank you Mahesh…I appreciate you stopping by. 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 5:57 am
This is breath taking.
August 8, 2014 at 7:46 am
Thank you! Alaska is an incredible place.
August 8, 2014 at 6:00 am
Beautiful Laura. I find myself doing the same thing. i go back to old images and am not please with the way they look and end up redoing them.
August 8, 2014 at 7:47 am
Thank you Edith. It’s amazing how I once thought something was good and now I need to redo it. Fun going through the process though. 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 6:07 am
Amazing!
August 8, 2014 at 7:47 am
Alaska really is! Thank you. 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 6:09 am
I loved Alaska! Your photograph makes me feel as though I am there, again.
August 8, 2014 at 7:48 am
I’m so glad I brought back good memories. I loved it there too!! Thank you. 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 6:40 am
Still on my bucket list and this shot moves it up the list. Glorious, Laura.
August 8, 2014 at 7:48 am
Thank you Lynne….I could go back…that’s how much I loved it. I hope you get to do it!
August 8, 2014 at 8:04 am
You get a WOW from me, Laura. And why you don’t like your older images is beyond me. OK. So we are all growing, yes, but, see the beauty you created in that phase of your life, and LIKE it. Or, apply what you learned since then and create something NEW. (smile) Love, Amy
August 8, 2014 at 8:24 am
True….thank you for the nice spin on it! 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 8:28 am
You can always depend on me for another perspective, Laura. 🙂 (((HUGS)))
August 8, 2014 at 8:13 am
Such a spectacular view, the clouds, mountains, and glacier… Great photo, Laura! Thank you for the post.
August 8, 2014 at 8:24 am
Thank you Amy! 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 8:20 am
Stunning capture! Wow!
August 8, 2014 at 8:26 am
Thank you 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 8:39 am
I think when you look back at old images you know have more knowledge and think, “I can edit this shot better”. I haven’t seen the original but this shot looks great.
August 8, 2014 at 8:41 am
Beautifully dramatic! Love it!
August 8, 2014 at 8:43 am
I do soooooo love your blog!! I do so love Alaska too! Thanks for visiting mine…going to go suck the marrow out of this most Beautimous day!!! ✌️
August 8, 2014 at 8:53 am
Very beautiful, Laura.
August 8, 2014 at 9:06 am
That is really an amazing sight! And beautiful photo.
August 8, 2014 at 9:09 am
I keot clicking to see the butterfly pupa images, but passed many of your posts I had already seen. Can you leave the link here?
August 8, 2014 at 2:56 pm
Here they are: https://lauramacky.wordpress.com/2014/08/01/butterfly-madness/
August 8, 2014 at 2:55 pm
Thank you! It really was incredible.
August 8, 2014 at 9:21 am
That’s a very dramatic image Laura…..you really get a sense of massive scale
August 8, 2014 at 2:57 pm
Thank you very much Mark. I seem to like this kind of thing. Drama must run in my family lol.
August 8, 2014 at 9:32 am
Magnificent image, Laura!
We want to go there. 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 2:58 pm
Definitely go there Dina. You won’t be sorry. It’s amazing! Thank you. 🙂
August 9, 2014 at 3:32 am
🙂
August 8, 2014 at 9:33 am
An impressive sense of… Hugeness.
August 8, 2014 at 2:58 pm
Glad you felt that…it is definitely quite the huge place!
August 8, 2014 at 10:40 am
Beautiful memories indeed, Laura!
August 8, 2014 at 2:59 pm
Thank you, yes they sure were!
August 8, 2014 at 10:59 am
breathtaking!
August 8, 2014 at 2:59 pm
It really was Robyn. Simply incredible! Thank you. 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 12:11 pm
Beautiful! Alaska is by far one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever set foot in.
August 8, 2014 at 3:00 pm
Thank you! And yessss…isn’t it though! OMG…I want to go back.
August 8, 2014 at 12:33 pm
A powerful image. I appreciate ‘reworked’ images and the skill they take – but I always prefer the natural original photo. The way of nature. My quirk. 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 3:01 pm
Everyone has their likes with photography. I’m developing more my point of view which is to bring the deepest feeling I felt at that time to the image. Thank you for your comment Vera 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 7:24 pm
I understand what you are developing in your mind, it is artistic growth and discovery – in fact you are transposing photos into works of subtle art.
it is just that I like to see nature as it is too…
August 9, 2014 at 7:51 am
Thank you 🙂 I understand.
August 8, 2014 at 4:44 pm
I’ve been going through all my old images one by one. Even ones that I, at first, trashed. Tastes do change!
August 8, 2014 at 4:45 pm
Yes they do Emilio. I think I was just developing mine…and I don’t think it will end soon. lol
August 8, 2014 at 4:47 pm
Let’s hope not!
August 8, 2014 at 5:20 pm
Great photo, Laura! Hope you are in a fast recovery! Take care, my friend! 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 6:37 pm
Thank you Fabio! Oh not yet though….my surgery is on Tuesday. When I go silent you’ll know I’m recovering. lol
August 8, 2014 at 7:58 pm
Oopss… you will do pretty well, I am sure! Take care, my friend! 🙂
August 8, 2014 at 9:02 pm
I wish you minimal discomfort and rapid healing, Laura. It’s no fun to be without full faculties, but it can be rewarding to be able to slow down for a while and review–and rework. I’m doing that, too. Take the rest you need, but please hurry back!
August 9, 2014 at 7:53 am
Thank you so much…I think I do need to slow down for awhile. Unfortunately it’s this way but in some ways it will be good for me. Good for you to review and rework! I have one more post scheduled for MMC but I won’t be around to comment. I’ll see you back soon….
August 8, 2014 at 11:14 pm
A beautiful piece Laura, original or tweaked a little it doesn’t detract from the scene.
August 9, 2014 at 7:53 am
Thank you Laurie 🙂 Everyone has their own interpretations. I love all the variety!
August 9, 2014 at 5:46 pm
True. If I have a picture that’s quite good in its structure but a tad out of focus then I turn it into a painting.
August 9, 2014 at 8:35 am
dramatic and spectacular!!!
August 9, 2014 at 9:26 am
Thank you Hanna. Gee…does that remind you of anyone? Like ME? lol
August 9, 2014 at 9:34 am
but of course you diva you!!
August 9, 2014 at 11:54 am
❤ ❤ ❤ it!
August 9, 2014 at 3:27 pm
Thank you! 🙂
August 10, 2014 at 11:07 am
amazing!
August 10, 2014 at 11:36 am
Thank you 🙂
August 10, 2014 at 7:19 pm
Gorgeous. Stunning etc etc ….. Hey guess who I met this morning?
August 10, 2014 at 8:14 pm
Thank you etc etc….who? Sorry I’m a bit out of sorts.
August 10, 2014 at 9:28 pm
Oh. That’s not good.
August 11, 2014 at 7:52 am
Well I’m just on a cane now and the pain oy! I can’t wait for my knee replacement tomorrow!
August 10, 2014 at 8:14 pm
Wait….Leanne?
August 10, 2014 at 9:16 pm
Give the lady a cigar. lol
August 11, 2014 at 7:52 am
How fun! I’m jealous! LOL! I hope you had fun. 🙂
August 17, 2014 at 2:38 pm
It was a nice catch up. My dear, how are you going?
August 17, 2014 at 3:33 pm
I’m doing well Sue, thanks for asking. I just woke up from a nap. I haven’t been sleeping well but that’s to be expected with the medications. Dave put up welcome home signs all over the house had has been taking good care of me. I hope you’re well!
August 17, 2014 at 3:37 pm
I am ok. Well I have the ‘flu but apart from that I’m not bad. I got home yesterday and today is being spent in catching up. 🙂 Glad Dave is taking good care of you.
August 17, 2014 at 4:14 pm
Aww sorry you are under the weather. I moved outside for five minutes but it’s too hot. Dave made chicken soup yesterday…homemade with fresh peas! Isn’t my life exciting now? Haha
August 17, 2014 at 4:17 pm
About as exciting as mine. I am about to go and put some laundry on lol
August 17, 2014 at 4:18 pm
😛
August 10, 2014 at 10:19 pm
The clouds coming over the top of the mountain contrasted with the blue of the ice glacier is fantastic. While you might not like your older photos, we do. Keep posting them!
August 11, 2014 at 7:51 am
Thank you so much! Oh this is a rework…the original old one is nothing like this. lol
August 11, 2014 at 11:17 am
One of the reasons I shoot in RAW is to give myself an opportunity later to rework shots with new software or more knowledge. Very nicely taken.
August 11, 2014 at 12:42 pm
Thank you so much Bob. I feel the same way. Thank goodness for RAW! 🙂
August 11, 2014 at 2:04 pm
I tell my students the truth, you’ve got 256 times more data in a RAW file than the same shot in JPG. Why throw it all away before you even get it out of the camera?
August 11, 2014 at 2:14 pm
Makes perfect sense to me! Best advice I ever got.
August 11, 2014 at 12:50 pm
I’m hoping to be able to visit Alaska some day. Hope everything goes as expected tomorrow for you.
August 11, 2014 at 2:05 pm
You are so sweet to remember. Thank you!! I really appreciate it Justin. 🙂
August 14, 2014 at 4:35 am
Nice! I’ve been here, my most amazing trip to date. I MUST visit again, this time venturing further north. It’s also populated with many, many extremely talented artists many of whom shared their creative process, inspiration, techniques etc. with me. Such a cool treat.
August 14, 2014 at 11:28 am
Thank you! I really loved it there…so majestic and expansive and beautiful. I’d like to go back too. And yes I did notice amazing art around. And I can see why with such inspirational surroundings.
August 15, 2014 at 1:51 am
alaska is one of my dream vacation spots. hope to go someday.
August 15, 2014 at 2:00 am
Hope you do. You won’t regret it!
August 15, 2014 at 4:36 pm
Beautiful, colorful, – and dramatic 🙂
August 15, 2014 at 5:31 pm
Mission accomplished! 🙂
August 18, 2014 at 12:59 pm
simply wow!
August 18, 2014 at 1:20 pm
Wow thanks!! 😀
August 22, 2014 at 12:55 am
So beautiful.
August 22, 2014 at 4:03 pm
Thank you 🙂
September 11, 2014 at 5:43 am
This image is wonderful! I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest surrounded by mountain ranges and forests yet I still crave adventure when I view images of other beautiful places. I keep reminding myself not to grow complacent about the beauty that surrounds me. Finding and sharing that beauty with others is the primary purpose for my blog. Thanks for sharing your part of paradise.
September 11, 2014 at 7:24 am
Thank you so much Bob. I really appreciate you being moved to make these comments. I’m in the bay area but I know what you mean about the Pacific Northwest. It’s just incredibly beautiful there! I couldn’t BELIEVE the incredible beauty and majesty of Alaska. It absolutely blew me away.
