Playing with the Camera

As promised, we went up to Flattop again to take some night pictures.  I don't know if we just weren't thinking about it very hard, but the sunset was amazing and we could have captured the whole thing if we hadn't waited so long.  Oh well, I think we'll have lots more clear Anchorage nights to come.  None of these photos could have been possible without our fancy new (from Christmas) tripod.  We love it! Thanks, Dad! These are some of the better shots.  Night shots are a little tricky and we're looking forward to learning about the best way to take them.  Time for a photography class, I think!

Looking toward Denali
Sleeping Lady (official name - Mt. Susitna)
more of the inlet
back at the mountains....just enough light to take a picture (with the shutter open for about 15 seconds)

I love that the mountains are right up the hill from us and we can even see them from our little house.  It's a bit weird to just be driving around town and having these awesomely huge mountains just hanging out above you.  Even the costco has a million dollar view!
