Anchorage Sunset by Jason Lanier

This image was taken just outside of Anchorage Alaska on the road that leads down towards Whittier and Seward. During the summer you have to wait a LONG time to get a sunset because it stays light for so long, but when they come they are almost always worth it!

Next Workshop: Las Vegas, Nevada- right after WPPI!!!

Camera settings: Nikon D700, 1/160 sec at f/5.6, 105mm at ISO 100, flash did not fire.  Taken at 10:11pm on July 7, 2012 by Jason Lanier.

Trees of Life by Jason Lanier

This shot was taken nearly 5 years ago in Maui, Hawaii and for the first time is being published.  This is why you keep raw files guys.  Had I tortured this image with my editing from 5 years ago it would have been a tragic loss to this piece.  The fog was rolling in during sunset and I was shooting in Poli Poli which is a wooded area on the hills of the Haleakala volcano in Maui.  The sun could just barely break through to shine it's light on the trees, yet the fog was still strong enough to give it a very different feeling than the typical sunset...and it really diffused the light which was awesome.

This image and more will be part of my new landscape website/store and I can't wait to unveil it to you guys.
