Moods of Denali

[Jim Dockery]

These were taken on a trip to AK 12 years ago. I climbed, and attempted to ski, from the summit as a 50th b-day gift to myself. Afterward my wife came up and we rented a car for a two week tour where I shot these when we drove into Wonder Lake.

Nice set. I love the view in the first image with the incredibly deep snow. The slightly shrouded view of the distant peak adds a sense of mystery to the scene.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Great series, the first is my favorite, Alan expressed the goodness very well.

Hey Jim,

What a wonderful birthday gift to yourself!

You got some really nice shots of Denali there, I think you have them posted in the order of my favorites. The first two really are very dramatic and well captured. I think in the last 2 they could use some highlight recovery in the top of each shot? Or perhaps there was simply that little visibility in the background?

 

[Jim Dockery]

Thanks for the comments everyone. Jim, both those last ones were shot on very hazy cloudy days so there really wasn't much detail in the sky.

 

[Mike Mancil]

Great light and perfect in b/w.

Very nice works. I agree with Jim's comments about the highlights in the last two, but I love that you kept all of them with nice soft contrast.
