2012 Golden Princess Cruise To Alaska

Hello,
This gallery is dedicated to friends and family but it is also to camera fans at large. Please click on the individual thumbnail photo to make larger and kindly leave me a comment for my efforts if so desire. I feel my attempt for sharing these vacation photos has been rewarded via your time spent at this gallery. I am only an amateur photographer and I am aware of my substandard descriptions in English but I tried. I have been using digital camera gear for couple of years. Currently, I am using the Micro Four Thirds system, a Panasonic GH2 with the 14-140mm zoom lens. It is lightweight for travel and quite flexible for my need. Majority of the photos were shot during sudden encounters. Many times I was roaming on the Golden Princess cruise ship with no one or few people present, shooting through the window in the moving train, aboard a small harbor tour boat that rocked like in a musical rock concert, from my seat in a fast moving bus or on the airline through thick plastic windows. Good or bad I tried and I delivered the pictures. I work with Lightroom 4 and Photoshop 5 for post processing raw digital files. Many of the photos were of family fun shots by my wife, Diana, and many were my responds to a scene outside the balcony of our stateroom. I welcome your constructive comments. Thank you for your time and have a GREAT DAY.
Sincerely,
Min Mar – a life-long camera fan

When our ship docked at Skagway, Alaska, we decided to take a train ride over the high mountain pass into the Canadian side. A narrow gage train winded it's way up the mountain as I shoot pictures through the window. I finally got one with sunshine and yellow flowers at the right corner. I use it as the gallery representative image. Our bus driver, standing with Diana and daughter Diane,  delivered us to the train station and will meet us at the other end to bring us back to the Golden Princess.

We arrived at the summit and enjoyed many clearer mountain views. We took a few pictures. Suddenly it was time to board the bus to meet a scheduled lunch date at a historical garden for a Garden Lunch in a valley below this summit.

We were at the suspensions bridge at the Canadian side. Since this site is a tourist trap place, couple of arrangements was set-up for us to amused ourselves.
