Monsoon clouds

August is monsoon season in Arizona, when rain and storms hit the state. Usually the first indications that a storm is brewing are the beautiful and dramatic clouds that gather on the horizon. This picture was taken this afternoon.

These owls were on a display because they were injured, so I'm pretty close. They almost seemed to enjoy the attention. This barn owl is a real beauty.

Continuing the animal theme, my tortoise has been loving the warm weather recently. 135mm f5.6.

My sisters dog Frieda. Allergic to some stuff in the nearby fields, hence the collar, but otherwise happy.

Silly building near me. Abused in post since the sky was blown out already.

My nephew's wedding last weekend, handheld exposure at 135mm, 1/10th second, F/5.6 ISO-1600 + half-stop exposure compensation, no flash - backlighted by predominantly deep violet stained glass windows. Yes, it was tweaked in post processing.

I wanted to shoot with my K-A 50 F/1.7, but the OVF screen and green octagon were not adequate for accuracy. I didn't want to hand-hold using the LCD and focus-peaking.

My $1000 photographic equipment rental

I didn't rent a camera or a lens, but it was $960 to rent this guy and an experienced Cessna for a two hour flight (that price included a seat for my wife, which made the expense easier to justify.)



We flew over the Kluane Icefields, the largest non polar ice cap in the world, covering an area about as large as Switzerland. The photo below is just one arm of the Kaskawulsh Glacier. Our plane didn't have an inset window that could be opened for poking a camera out of, but considering the time of day (airborne at 8:15AM) and the camera was pointing back towards the sun through Plexiglas, I was happy with how it turned out.



Our destination was Mt. Logan, the highest mountain in Canada at 19,551 feet above sea level, the picture below was taken at about 17,000 feet . I brought my camera bag with me, but 18mm on an APS-C camera was as wide of a focal length as I could use with the lens pressed to the window without including airplane parts on all sides of the frame.



At the telephoto end, it was pointless to go longer than 135mm, without reference points, the rock faces and icefield lakes all look the same.

I managed to take 345 photos while in the air, all with the DA 18-135. Even without being asked, I'm going to share a few more.

On the trip back to the Haines Junction airport, we ran underneath some cloud cover.



Mt. Logan is the most prominent part of the Logan Massif, but we were able to view most of the mountains in the Canadian part of the St. Elias range, the only important sight obscured by cloud cover was the Pacific Ocean in Taan Fjord.



I can't find a detailed glacier map, I think this is called the South Arm.

Thanks for sharing! Very nice shots of a wild part of North America! You had good weather as well, which seems to not be in excess there - I've understood they've had some long-lasting storms there this summer.

We were very fortunate, on the road from the 29th to the 13th with one wet morning in Whitehorse and a 30 minute shower one evening at a campground 200 kms west of Dawson City. Basically did a figure 8 from Saskatoon to Smithers to Stewart and Hyder, then up the Cassiar Highway to Atlin Lake and Whitehorse, then to Haines Junction and Haines (spending some time on the ground in Kluane), to Carcross and Skagway, back to Whitehorse for a hotel room and hot showers, then on to Carmacks, Pelly Crossing, Dawson, the Top of the World Highway to Chicken, Alaska back to Destruction Bay in the Yukon, some more time on the ground in Kluane, then Whitehorse, Watson Lake, Muncho Lake, Grande Prairie and home. Dawson City in particular has had a very wet summer (except for the two days we were there). It was great.
