It is the Chilkat time of year again.

Indeed....great start with the new camera. That drake is really sharp.

A recent image with the 7DII + 500mm f/4

Minimal post processing here (slight crop and slight exposure adjustment is all) and no sharpening was applied.

It is last minute ... maybe next fall?

[HDNitehawk]

Last minute seems to be the way I usually do things, but this year might be too much of a push. It wouldn't be as bad but the best scenario I see is at least a 1 1/2 days of travel one way. Three days of travel makes it at least a week trip to be worthwile IMO.
Next fall would be better.

The festival this year starts on the 9th.
