Sue, you have several standout images in this set. The ones with the highest cuteness factor for me are #7, #5, & #1, in that order. Jealous of the surroundings and I am glad that you were tough enough to go.
Jon
Thanks Jon! It was really really REALLY cold there, and I am a warm weather person - but the scenery more than distracted me from the temps!

Thanks Bill - glad you enjoyed the movie (my first effort at moviemaking!)

what super series Susan....the moose images are so expressive.
Like the dogsled blur very much
Thanks Dave - the calf was a cutiepie - probably an orphan since his mom was nowhere in sight. Wish I could have tried more dogsled blurs but it was hard to shoot and steer at the same time!!

I really like the ones with snow on the little guy's nose - very cute. That must have been quite an experience getting to drive the dogs; a very COLD but rewarding one!
Thanks Scott - have you been out mushing yourself? It was a treat to have my own team of dogs for 3 days!! (Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr though....)

Stunning shots, Sue. Tough to select favorites, but I really like #2 and 7 of the moose calf. The shot of the dogs from behind are great - both variations. I guess you were not holding on for those few seconds?!
Also, checked the shots on your website. Fantastic. The movie was interesting too. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks Cris! Once I got my balance on the sled and the ground was pretty flat, I could hang on with one hand and take pictures/movies with a point and shoot. The two sled pics I posted, though, were from sitting in the basket (first hour of "training") - for the remainder of the three days, I was on my own!

Awesome! Sounds like a tough job you have "working" in Alaska. Any open positions?
Thanks AJ! If you know anything about why hibernation protects the brain from oxygen deprivation, then we have a job for you!! Dress warmly, though!

Susan, what a great set of moose calf pictures and what a cool adventure to hear about! I love the shots from the dog sled -- that must have been an amazing experience!
Chris
Hey Chris, thanks - it was my first chance to photograph a moose, and the dogsledding was a total hoot!

Wonderful Susan! Just terrific!  I knew you loved dogs (as do I), but I didn't realize you were a musher!
= Ed =
Thanks so much, Ed - yes, we're both dog folks, and if you ever have a chance to go dogsledding, it is just a blast. The first day was training, then we had two full days with or own teams of 6 dogs each, including a really beautiful stay in a small cabin overnight. I'd do it again, in a heartbeat!! Way cool.

Great series Susan...just what kind of work do you do that you get to go to Alaska... You are indeed blessed to get that opportunity, and paid for it. I am jealous... 2and 3 are my pics of the series. Well done.
Thanks Shelley!! I am on an advisory committee for a group of neurobiologists at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, and am extremely fortunate not only to get to work with a talented bunch of scientists, but also to be able to fit in a few days of fun after one of our meetings. What an amazing state!

I am very envious. These are all terrific and very crisp. I love the "artsy" one at the end. Very cool.
Nice work.
Multo thanks, Jennifer - glad you liked the sled shot!

All super. I pointed out the moose shots to my wife and you managed to make a moose "cute"! Steve W
Hey Steve, thanks so much - and that calf just WAS cute!!! Still young, curious, and soft looking - so it was easy!!

Sue great shots and video. Looks like it was a great experience.
Thank you Aaron! It was a blast!

Love your shots of the moose calf Susan, and the blur, very cool. Verno
A thousand thanks, Verno! Glad you liked the blur - wish I could have worked that shot a bit longer, I think now that I know exactly how I would have done it, if I had another chance at it. But I got pretty close in round 1!
