Woo, those postcard shots are spectacular. Alaska has always been on my list of places that I hope to visit. I love all those blues and whites.

we recently took the cruise in May and had a fantastic time. We basically have the same pictures, although yours are much better. We took our with a Panasonic TZ3 on some gloomy days. We were on the Star Princess. Have a blast and can’t wait to see your review of the XSI Canon. I’m thinking of going to a DSLR. Enjoy

Hope that you have a very nice trip. If possible, spend as much time as you can walking around Sitka’s downtown, preferably toward sunset on a clear evening. You might also want to look into some of the small coves and inlets on a Zodiac or other small boat. These can be very lovely, even when it’s rainy. If your ship docks at Seward or Whittier, then I suggest taking a day or two with a rented car before going home. At both Juneau and Seward, there are very large glaciers that you can walk very close to – Mendenhall in Juneau and Exit Glacier in Seward. These can both be very spectacular but keep a reasonable distance in case of falling ice chunks.
BTW – I very much enjoy your web site and the straightforward yet thorough reviews. I do suggest some lens reviews in the future, given the increasing prominence of dSLR cameras.
