Spring Snow at Sloans Lake Size:11"x14" Well I think this image

Well I think this image pretty much sums up an early August afternoon in Juneau

If you have been to Juneau at all you know that it rains in this area of Alaska

I quickly looked for a foreground element to add for this image and found a pair of floatplanes out at the Juneau International Airport to help frame the image on this September evening

While walking around Downtown Juneau

Using the low light to my advantage I was able to use a slower shutter speed on my camera and capture the motion from the water in the image

Spring Snow at Sloans Lake Size:11"x14" Well I think this imageIt is not uncommon to see snow in the spring around Denver even going into May. This was one of those days when a light dusting of snow fell in Denver overnight greeted with clear skies in the morning. Getting close to the ground I focused on the grass an using a shallow depth of field put the trees in the background out of focus. This allows the viewer to have a sense of place but puts the attention on the snow in the fresh spring growth.
