Lots of good shots but really like this.

Got back from an Alaskan cruise earlier this week and wanted to share some of my favorite shots.

First is Margerie Glacier in Glacier Bay. Then a couple of different views of Denali. And finally, a view from the White Pass Railway near Skagway.

So I have been looking at filters. On a whim I bought a polarized filter from Best Buy but it was the cheap insignia brand. After reading on it people say it worked okay but I haven't tried it yet. I am kind of having buyer's remorse and am angry I can't find the receipt.

It seems I should have sprung for a bit more expensive version and gone with the Hoya brand. I will definitely be doing that on the ND filter but those are only about $20. The more expensive circular polarizers are over $40.

On the circular polarizer should I be getting gray or black?

Awesome. Really nice shot.

Why do planets shine like stars (from our perspective on Earth)?
[Reply]

They are reflecting the suns rays. Because of their proximity they are way brighter than normal stars

I figured as much.

What's the difference between asteroids, meteors and comets?
