Thanks, I'm really pleased with how the wildlife shots came out. First credit should go to the Canon
EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM lens I bought for the trip. It kicks arse and seemed to be the consensus pick of the wildlife photographers that were more serious about it than I was.
Secondly, anyone is going to get good shots on a trip like that over a 2 month period.
Thirdly, it is surprising how close wildlife will let you get in wilderness areas. Too damn close in the case of Brown Bears.

Yeah, I need to upgrade my lenses. Probably will before my road trip next Sept/Oct up north. Here in the S.E., it's not much of a problem outside of whale photos.
The abundance of wildlife in the Northland (Ak, BC, Yukon, NW Territories) is astounding. I second your opinion that it's very possible and not that difficult to get too close for comfort. Still, your wildlife photos are definitely worthy of praise as pointing and clicking isn't the key to successful photography. You do a great job.
Guy I know here does outdoor photography, wildlife and landscapes. He puts out calanders and books, does a fantastic job

This is what the Juneau icefield looks like BTW. The peaks you see are around 6,000 ft. The icefield is over a mile thick and spawns over 35 glaciers. Just behind the town, and is 1,500 sq. miles in area
This is one of Marks photos of fireweed near the Juneau airport. My house is located at the base of the mountains in the background, on Douglas Island
