OK, that's IT!!!! I'm going to out right now to spend $50K on equipment, $500K on a boat, move to Alaska and start taking pictures! My mind is made up! Thanks for the encouragement!

They are stunning images but many are "digital art," or compilations, are they not?

Don't you want to take pictures like that and have the money to buy all the big cameras and lenses? I do.

Not all of that is photography...but the photographs are nice.

Edit: I shouldn't be so reckless...I highly suspect that not all of that is photography but could be proven wrong.

The whale photos are breath taking. They are certainly not easy to get...can't imagine getting ALL of those. I'd be one proud lady.

I believe they are all out of the camera compositions that have been polish-processed only. No composites. Google Jim Brandenburg sometime for similar photography.

I'm glad others though there was some monkey-business going on. I would point out whale shot #19 in specific. The light on the mountains appears to be coming on the right side and behind. There is too much of a highlight on the whale's white "eye" and jaw which makes the light source appear to be in front. Likely a composite.

Still, I can commend him on the PS work alone. It's pretty well done. Only someone looking for it could spot it.

beautiful stuff, but, all the same, to echo di53, that's the type of stuff i see from jon lucas just about every time he touches a camera...

some of jon's stuff

Go to Anacortes or the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound WA, and you too will have an opportunity to take these type of images. The place is crawling with them.

80% of good photography is being there with a camera

They didn't seem like composite shots to me. Stunning work though.
