Taku Glacier, Alaska

While zooming up this fog-covered glacier in a helicopter, the foremost thought in my mind was the really poor chance of surviving a chopper crash into those enormous rock-hard pillars of ice. It was a thrilling ride to say the least.

    Beautiful sight! I wonder why this photo has so much noise. Did you use a high ISO (assuming it's taken with a digital camera)?

    Hi Jason - thanks for the comment. It was a beautiful sight! I shot this with film - I didn't own a digital at the time. I scanned the photo into the computer. As I recall, it was an ISO of 200 (my usual film speed). I suspect the noise came from a combination of the fog, the windshield of the helicopter and the speed of the camera. Hope this helps.
