• Bear power

  
  Graf Nature Photography | Notes from the woods — Authority: 117
  What??!!  A week has gone by and I haven’t posted about any bears?  :-)   Well, this post certainly breaks that bad streak.   Of course I am still editing and processing images from Alaska.   This particular image has a lot of qualities that I like about it.Perspective – although I was not in [...]

• Topaz Detail

  
  Graf Nature Photography | Notes from the woods — Authority: 117
  I previously wrote about a nice Photoshop plugin from Topaz Labs called Topaz Adjust in these posts.   It remains one of those plugins that I tend to use as a playground to explore possibilities.  Sometimes it works for a particular image, sometimes I don’t care for the effects for that particular shot.     [...]

• The big and small

  
  Graf Nature Photography | Notes from the woods — Authority: 117
  I suppose it is only natural that one feels quite small when in some place with so many grand features as Alaska.   You can get these feelings pretty much no matter where you are at however.  Just look up into a star filled sky or even that large tree in the neighborhood.   I [...]

• Shelikof Double occupancy

  
  Graf Nature Photography | Notes from the woods — Authority: 117
  The waterway that separates Kodiak Island, Alaska from the Alaskan peninsula and Katmai National Park is called the Shelikof Strait.   Our captain during our bear trip indicated it has a nasty reputation for some very serious storms.  Thirty foot seas are not uncommon and crossings are often limited to the good ...

• Isolation and happiness

  
  Graf Nature Photography | Notes from the woods — Authority: 117
  It is quite difficult to portray animal emotions in photographs or reveal something about their nature in a fraction of a second. It is so much easier with human facial expressions that we associate with happiness, sorrow, or anger. Even colors in photographs, or the lack thereof, can help establish certain moods. ...

• Bear reflections

  
  Graf Nature Photography | Notes from the woods — Authority: 117
  I was fortunate enough to capture a few scenes with some nice reflections of these coastal brown bears (aka. grizzly bears aka. ursus arctos ).     It seemed to be a rare occurrence when a bear would walk along the water’s edge and at the same time have the water calm enough for a [...]

• Gulo gulo for Carl & Ron

  
  Graf Nature Photography | Notes from the woods — Authority: 117
  Earlier this year, there was some banter back and forth between fellow photographers Carl Donohue and Ron Niebrugge about being able to photograph a wolverine.    I read with interest as I would have liked to see one of them get a shot of one.   Heck, both of these guys have spent more time in [...]
