Bush plane on approach. Katmai National Park, Alaska. Canon 1D Mark IV, 500mm f/4L IS, 1/800 sec @ f/8, ISO 200.
If you have traveled at all in Alaska, it is likely you have been in a bush plane to access many of the remote regions throughout the state. Whether it is a plane on floats or tundra tires, they are critical for getting to many great photo destinations. I have photographed extensively from the air (see my Alaska Aerial’s gallery) but the planes themselves are fun to photograph, as they fly through dramatic landscapes. The cloudy skies add some interest to the background space in this shot, as the plane banks on approach to land on a lake hidden behind the trees in Katmai National Park.
