Approaching Sawyer Glaciers
If you visit my blog often, you might think this is the 2nd time you’ve seen this image but it’s actually a brand new image which I finished post processing last evening. It’s very similar to a previous photo I posted, which was a view of the same Glaciers, but from a much closer distance. (See my previous Sawyer Glacier photo.)

As we cruised through the Tracy Arm Fjord, in the near distance we began to spot this magnificent glacier glowing a bright blue color.

Trey Ratcliff shows off some "Really Big Lenses"

Since we were staying within walking distance to the beach, we decided to get up before sunrise one morning to get some shots of the sun coming up.
We arrived on the beach about 20 minutes before sunrise, so Trey asked me to whip out my video recorder so he could share with you a little information about the lens he was using and also explain why it’s necessary to use a Gimbal tripod head when shooting pictures using very large lenses.
