Photography by Mike James

Welcome.

I've been a "serious enthusiast" photographer since 1975, but have never done it as a business. I've lived in Anchorage, Alaska, since 1995, and love it here! Obviously, my primary interest is aviation, but there's a never-ending supply of fantastic terrain, wildlife, seascapes, cityscapes, aviation-related events, interesting people, glaciers, and of course, the aurora.

For those of you who are interested...
All the photos shown here were created in the camera, with only basic (color,contrast, etc.) editing. I will never show any "fake" or composited photos here without mentioning that.

Timelapse and Slideshows

I've lived in Anchorage, Alaska, since 1995, and am in love with the place. Great people, unbelievable terrain and wildlife, clean air and water, and plenty of things to explore. This is a chronological slideshow of photos I shot between November, 2015 and February, 2017. Accompanied by some beautiful music from my friend, Melissa Fischer.

A little time-lapse photography...

This was shot on a Moonlit night (01-23-16) beginning at about 3am. Shots were taken every 3 seconds for 30 minutes, then played back here at 24 frames per second. Shooting in RAW let me bring up the exposure for this scene, which was actually very dark, lit only by Moonlight.
