We photographers know how what we do can be influenced both positively and negatively by the weather. Overcast skies, rain, snow, wind, sun angle and time of day. Consider the photo below.
It’s about 200 miles from Summit Lake Recreational Area located near Anchorage (Willow) to Denali National Park. An unusually clear summertime day resulted in some spectacular images. Note the snow covered Denali mountains in the right horizon. Then, closer still with a 200mm lens.
Sharing My Joy 
Wow! Beautiful pictures. Speaks well for having lens choices.
The lens used was on my Panasonic. 45-200mm. I’m thinking of getting a new one for the Fuji. 55-200mm. Then retire my Panasonic kit.
Great pics, and I’m glad you emphasized “on the clear day.” My family is from Alaska, and I always hear people (understandably) disappointing that often, and from relatively close, they can’t see the mountain. Your work is beautiful!
Thanks Jeff. We were flat lucky. Perfect weather an entire week. But, been there before when it wasn’t that way. Beautiful no matter what.
