I wasn't really sure where to post this as these aren't really digiscoping photos and they aren't videos. I will be adding many more as I go through them but here is a start.

Thanks. These were all taken with my Pentax K-30 DSLR which I like because it is an affordable mid-level camera that has weather resistance so I don't worry about having it out in the rain. Yeah, it's a bit to lug around for those with the Ultralight mindset. I hauled it up the mountain in Wyoming for all but the last two photos which are Alaska. I don't know that I will do it again but it was nice to have a quality camera when I wanted to capture a good photo.

Every one of those photos should be framed and hung on the wall. Awesome pics, thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I have all of these and a few more already printed in 8x10. Some may go a little larger.

Those are awesome pics. What program did you use to enhance them?

These were all shot RAW and then processed in Lightroom 4. I don't have any filters or plugins currently so I just adjust the "Tone" and "Presence" controls. Maybe add a little vignetting and some minor noise reduction.

That last one could possibly be my favorite although it isn't the best. That is actually Mt McKinley as we were flying by it from Fairbanks to Anchorage around 10PM at the end of August. It still could use a little work but it came out pretty good on the 8x10 print.
