All very nice. I actually like the second one an awful lot, as I like the patterns and the appearance of displacement of the patterns along distinct lines - much like you would see in fractured rock or faulted terrain (it appeals to the geologist in me...). I assume that's due to some combination of camera and sun angle(?). From a pure photographic perspective though, I'd have to go with the first and fourth. They're all very nice though.
Thank you John. This time of year the sun remains low in the sky creating long shadows and providing softer, warmer light. (Warm in Tuk is certainly a relative term). Appreciate you looking in and commenting.
Hi Robert. I do have a others of Tuk I can post. Once you are outside the "confines" of Tuk (you can walk everywhere it so small), the terrain is featureless - Arctic ocean to the North and West and tundra to the south and east with a few pingos thrown in. The photo ops are better in spring, summer and fall but you will need a boat as there is far more water than land. We were in Tuk for a week.
Stunning display of the patterns in nature Alan - you did a great job of teasing out the textures with the dramatic lighting you had captured in this series. #1 and #4 are the images that really keep me looking into the scenes trying to absorb all of the neat visual treats in them.
Thanks for sharing. Definitely not some place I am likely to get to visit myself.
the composition in number 4 pleases me the most. The lone mound on the horizon, with the wavy dunes and pleasant sky give the image a peaceful feeling. I think the colors overall are a bit oversaturated, however.
Alan,
Nice set. #3 is what I would expect and #4 is just a nice pic all around. Tuktoyaktuk has a somewhat special meaning to me as it was the first landfall reporting point for cross-polar flights out of Europe landing Anchorage. As an air traffic controller I talked to many aircraft reporting over Tuktoyaktuk. Small world!

Thanks for the comments. Appreciate the feedback. Colours may look over-saturated but only very minor adjustments were made in that regard. Remember that the sun is very low in the sky when it is above the horizon which creates beautiful, warm Arctic and deeper saturation.

Thanks for stopping by Dave. As I grow older, the connections we share continue to amaze me.
