August 30, 2014.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As I looked at my favorite images for August 30, I quickly narrowed my choices down to three, but then it got really difficult. I ended up with a landscape image, a portrait, and a wildlife image. I wanted to call it a three way tie, and depending on my mood, I pick a different image out of theses three each time I choose a favorite.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So as of right now, I am picking the portrait. Ask me tomorrow and I might very well pick either of the other two images.<\/p>\n<p>I was really taken by this person portraying a Union Officer. The eyes. The beard. The lines in the skin. It just all comes together. This is one of my all time favorite portraits.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20805\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/000830-Caribou-Taiga-CPL24-w7-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20805\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20805\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/000830-Caribou-Taiga-CPL24-w7-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-20805\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Caribou, Taiga, Denali National Park, Alaska. August 30, 2000.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>My second choice for the day is a caribou in Alaska. I was with a photography group led by George Lepp. He predicted the route of this caribou, lined us up where we could each get a great shot, and told us not to make a sound and too barely move or we would spook the caribou. We did as he said and the caribou walked right by every one of us.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20806\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/000830-Sunset-Camp-Denali-CPQ29-w7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20806\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20806\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/000830-Sunset-Camp-Denali-CPQ29-w7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"471\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-20806\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sunset from our cabin at Camp Denali, Alaska. August 30, 2000.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>My third pick of the day is a sunset photographed from my cabin door in Camp Denali Alaska. It was taken the same day as the caribou photo. I love the way the light glows in the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>When I first picked these three images, I picked the sunset as my favorite. Who knows which image I would pick tomorrow?<\/p>\n<p>I was one of 16 photographers who spent the week with George Lepp as part of a five day special emphasis week at Camp Denali. They bring in a different photographer every year. Other special emphasis weeks are held throughout the season. Camp Denali is a great place to go for photography or several other reasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/?p=20584\">Series: Favorite Photos by Date<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/campdenali.com\/\">Camp Denali<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I looked at my favorite images for August 30, I quickly narrowed my choices down to three, but then it got really difficult.
