Mentor Trek Day 1 – The Rain Lightens!

Our next stop was Eagle Beach, where we would shoot and have a prepackaged lunch. The heavy rain had stopped but I had created a makeshift rain hood with a plastic bag and was ready if it ever came down hard again. The rain and clouds made for a very overcast day, but with a little bit longer to walk around and setup, I came up with some shots I am willing to share here. Multiple times later that weekend the mentors would comment that they were very impressed with our group that we ran out into the rain and just started shooting. Well, we had all paid a pretty penny for this trip (not including airfare!) and had all seen the four day forecast which called for rain, rain, and more rain, so what were we going to do? Luckily, we did get some decent weather later on. After Eagle Beach, we got on the main road in the direction back to the hotel. On the way, we stopped briefly at two stops literally right off the road where we could view and shoot the Mendenhall Glacier, a much different view than I had seen the day before. The glacier is on the right.
