Simple Clicks – In the Forest
These are simple clicks by virtue of the fact that they didn’t fit in with yesterday’s post. They’re one of shots I had pre-visualized when I was driving out to Promised Land on Monday morning, from the small wooded area between the Lower Lake boat launch and the creek that flows down from Promised Land [...]
“And feather canyons everywhere…”
So go the lyrics of Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now. I’ve always been fascinated by clouds and their permutations, imagining in them mythical beasts and everyday objects alike. With the dearth of snow this winter, the February landscape seems drab and dreary, so I turned to a skyscape for inspiration. I visited nearby Fords Pond [...]
Mid-winter (?) Funk
It’s mid-winter, or at least it would be if this wasn’t what I’ve termed “The Winter that Never Was.” It’s been several months of bipolar now-it’s-warm, now-it’s-not, with almost no snow. And now we’re mid-February and headed for the doldrums of March, and both inspiration and motivation are fleeting. I’ve been doing far too little [...]
Simple Clicks – A Cold Morning Panorama
This was my first goal on reaching the lake Sunday morning – shooting a panorama. I’ve shot several at this same location; it’s a very photogenic spot and it’s physical layout lends itself well to panoramas. Especially so at this time of year, when the sun rises almost directly behind the center of the hill. [...]
A Cold Morning
Winter continues here in NEPA with several inches of snow falling over the weekend. It wasn’t the quantity that the weather channel girl had called for, but it was still enough to put a blanket over the landscape, so Sunday morning I pulled myself out of bed before sunrise and headed out to the lake. [...]
Winter in PA – Another Perspective
Now that winter weather has indeed finally arrived, as Brent so aptly noted, it brought with it some great photo opportunities this past week. Here’s my perspective on the photo trip Brent and I took earlier this week. First of all, sunrise. The winter sun may rise later than in summer, but I’m thinking I’ll [...]
Finally Winter in PA
It’s finally winter in PA. Well, mostly – Scranton is fairly snow-less, but the hills have a couple of inches, the temperatures are down, and more snow is on the way for the weekend. Got out to enjoy it for a while this past weekend, or at least as much as you can enjoy a [...]
Starting the New Year in Vermont, Pt. 2
This is a photo I’ve wanted to get for years now, the Marble Church in Proctor at sunrise. Tucked into the base of the mountain, it takes several hours from sunrise for the light to fill the valley and finally hit the church, so there’s a long period of amazing back lighting. Yet the white [...]
Starting the New Year in Vermont
I started the New Year off in the best way: on vacation with family. Of course, being a photographer, that meant that while everyone else was warm in bed, sleeping late, I was out at sunrise freezing my backside off on the side of a frozen lake. While the sun slipped down the side of [...]
If You Give a Moose a Muffin
I’ll be heading to Vermont for a few days later this winter and am already putting together a list of the things I want to accomplish while I’m there. Actually, that’s a pretty generous way of putting it, saying “accomplish” as if I’ll actually be able to plan for success. But however you say it, [...]
