We had a great, cloudy, cold, moody morning start for our MT DLWS event. It was perfect weather for our subject, Hyalite Creek. This is the same locale where we film our Kelby Training Landscape videos. Here’s how the photo was captured.

This photo was captured in the same way. What’s key is “bracketing for effect” which means taking photos at various shutter speeds to capture the “blur” you desire and shooting many frames at the final shutter speed to capture the feel you desire.

The DLWS family, Joe, Laurie, Kevin, Sharon, Jake, Drew, and I are all back together causing havoc, this time in a new state. So with all in tow, off we went this afternoon scouting. We went to one of my favorite places in the state to shoot. Where is that? Well, you’ll have to stay tuned this week to discover that.

This corner of an old Pullman rail car really grabbed my attention. It was the orange colored paint peels that originally got hold of me. The above photo is where I started but with nothing being squared to nothing, my original thoughts went out the window so I turned to Infrared. The bottom photo is more of a hint of what I was thinking but it’s just a small portion of the upper photo.

Than there is the basics. The aging process of the Montana plains brings wood to life. This old home is just a small sampling of the character that is born from life here. It’s very unique and special. But just like the train car, nothing is square.

We started off our day on the Madison with a glorious, glorious sunrise! The wonders of Yellowstone surprise me every moment I’m in the park, they always seem to be new or amazing. It was great this AM to share some of those wonders with the new friends we’ve made at Base Camp. It’s great to see, after such an experience nothing but big smiles! The best part, the day has just begun.

The day was a blur, heck, the computer screen right now is a blur! We started out at truly one of my favorite places, Jenne Farm with our good friend Sam. The photo gods we really good to the DLWS gang providing us perfect light for the morning shoot. This photo is a straight shot taken in Vivid with -1.5 comp, the combo bringing out the color and drama.

It’s very rewarding to be out with students who can’t wait to get out shooting and then venture any distance required to get the photo. And sometimes in their pursuit to the photograph, they become the photograph.
Now I know I’m tired, but I don’t think this is how the saying goes.

We had an amazing Participant Slideshow tonight containing 408 images produced from 146GB! On behalf of the DLWS staff, we want to thank ALL the folks who joined us for making Vermont so special. Now it’s time to hit the road again, off to the Big Apple.

Quite blurry eyed, I returned with the very energetic DLWS gang to a staff scouting favorite, Middletown Springs. The color was better, especially waiting to sunset to use the best color filter in the world, smog (with a little underexposure thrown in).

I think this sums it up!

You’ll probably get tired of me saying this, but it’s true, it was another gorgeous morning in Vermont! We headed out to the summer home of Calvin Coolidge. It’s a great little village nestled in the hills of VT.
We’ve ventured here twice before with DLWS but it never had the fall color we had this morning. I was torn between doing the stereotypical fall color shots and more site oriented subjects.

The early morning coolness was the great background color for the top photo. The yellow fall colors fly out of the image against the blue. The bottom photo I used the black of contrast to make the yellow sizzle. In both cases, to make the color pop and background color was used that would make the mind’s eye see just the fall color.
