National Geographic (6.21.16)

I split off from the rest of my family on Tuesday on a quest to learn photography tips from John Hendrickson, a world-renowned wildlife photographer from California, who was also at Baranof this week.  Ira Miller (friend of Shelly's) and I attempted to learn "all things" camera from John during our morning boat trip, but when it comes right down to it, I think these elements must be learned slowly (kindly put- they pay him the big bucks for a reason!).  Although it was rainy and somewhat cold, we were able to capture on film deer, bear, rare birds, sea otters, eagles, a small humpback whale, a very unique starfish plus that gorgeous Alaskan landscape during this National Geographic field trip.
