Iceberg, snow, glacier, hill and clouds, Chugach Mountain range, seen from Prince William Sound, Alaska. There are so many elements here. The foreground iceberg in blue, the extension of a glacier on the right, snow on the left and the hill covered in clouds. I was shooting with my D4S loaded with the Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 lens and this scene needed me to go wider. Instead of changing my lens, I simply shot several frames that covered the top left, the top right, the bottom left and the bottom right. I stitched them all together to create this image. Images of this form factor are usually not stitched, but given the lens I had with me at the time, I had to improvise. I am glad I did. Looking at this image, I still feel the same chills that I felt that day.
Iceberg, Prince William Sound, Alaska. This was the first time ever that I witnessed an iceberg. Needless to say, my Nikon D4S with the Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 lens was smoking from all the work it got. For a native Alaskan, this may not be a novel sight. For me, it was.
