My wife Janet and I made a flight to Cordova after work last Tuesday in our C150. After returning to Tatitlek and dropping her off around 5.30, I resolved to head back out in order to catch some sunset light and also spend some time in the pattern shooting a few night landings and takeoffs.
I sped on over to the Columbia Glacier and enjoyed a 45 minute show of light that had to have been the finest display I’ve been privileged to bear witness to this winter. I shot around 2 gigs worth of images which will take some time to work through and post, but I’m excited enough to present two preliminary samples.
This is the light that got me so excited. I had a fantastic time juxtaposing the warm colors of the sunset with the cool timbre of the glacial ice and snow covered peaks below. Additionally the low angled winter light really highlighted the texture of the glacial crevasses to the point where they could play a supportive visual role to the interplay of the colors.
Of course the ice fields weren’t the only parts of the Sound in play that evening.
You can see the light was pervasive throughout the Sound, what a sunset!

I need to remember to take my camera when I go flying again.
