I woke early on our day to reach Ketchikan. Not from excitement. From the light coming in our balcony door. It was just past the full moon, and at 3:37am Alaska Time I couldn’t sleep…
These were taken in the channel leading north to Ketchikan over a period of about an hour, from 3:37am to 4:39am. There has been some post-processing, but not too much. All are sized at 1440×960 for wallpaper!

The one above and the one below are very similar, yet subtley different. They were taken sequentially.

As we moved north the Moon eventually slid over the mountain.

And of course, one of my favorite subjects, the Moon itself. I think this turned out very good, and I only used my 28-135mm IS lens.  This is a 100% full sized Moon. I just cropped the rest of the black out.

And a Moon/Sunrise photo a bit different than the rest.

Now, on to Ketchikan!
