Day 303

Tuesday, October 28, 2014

Beyond the whales you can see several boats fishing for salmon.  These salmon are called something specific in the store, because they are caught individually with a hook and line, instead of being caught in a purse/seine net.  They bring a premium price, but are individually picked from what is caught, with the others being […]

Day 300

Tuesday, October 28, 2014

This is actually a color photograph.  It was just a flat light kind of a day. The only thing I have done to most of these was resize them to 60% and then cropped them to 1440×960. * * * I did lighten these last three with the bottom of the tail a little. * […]

Day 294: The Otters!

Monday, October 20, 2014

Day 293: The Eagles!
