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

A view of a different type of glacier with darker color. This one is not as bright as The Margerie Glacier.

The Glacier National Park rangers were onboard to conduct workshops for the benefits of the passengers. Now they are waving good-bye and left our ship.

A lone fishing vessel homeward bound. Thank you for being in the right place and at the right time for me to take this photo. Also, GOOD LUCK with the catch next trip.

There were four WHALE WATCHING boats in this picture. The tail of the whale was sticking up at the 2 o'clock position within the photo – like a tiny letter “T”. It was good for a brief second. The tail looked very small from camera to subject distance even when zoomed to maximum FL. Our ship was too far and I did not see the whale surface again.

Our ship arrived at Ketchikan, Alaska but the rain greeted us again! We stay onboard rather than go to those tourist trap places to buy rain gear. Rain gear is not very useful in the hot dry desert region of the Southwest U.S.A. The following photos showing the major streets of Ketchikan.
