All during the highnoon session the hail pounded on the roof yet when it came time to go shooting, the sun was out and great puffies passed overhead.
We first ventured to Echo Lake for a great start. We finished up in the town of Weston, a favorite of ours for many reasons. One is this mill. Now this image represents a new technique I’m experimenting with in my pursuit of pushing the photographic envelope.
A large influence on the use of this technique (which is not ready for prime time) comes from wanting to bring to the photograph more of the romance I feel from certain scenes. To explain it more, take a moment to enjoy this slice of Vermont serenity.
Wishing you were here Scott!

To say we hit the color is an UNDERSTATEMENT! We went to one of my favorite locales this AM, Sleepy Holow and it was great. The color, the fog, the farm itself were just spectacular.
Shooting for me was relatively simple because I stayed focus on the color and fog.

To preserve the airness of this photo as well as shadow detail, I used my five image-HDR technique. While not the text book application of the technique, I do love the feel it preserved from the morning.

The locales say it’s peak color, the timing is perfect for a great show. We can after a solid day of scouting attest that this is all true. It is gorgeous!
We started our morning at Jenne Farm. Besides having the greatest maple syrup, it’s an idealic place with the greatest dog, Sam. You might recognize from movies like Forest Gump.
We checked out many of our favorite places today to decide where we’ll be taking our DLWS participants this coming week. We were incredibly thrilled to see one with the right amount of color in just the right places. I took a while for the fog of travel to wear off and the techniques of shooting fall color to come to light. It’s going to be a grand week!

Remove a tree, bring on fall color and now you can see what I saw in my heart at the time of capture. I’m just getting psyched for next week’s DLWS event in VT.
And when I was shooting boats, I needed direction so I just looked up.
I hope you have a great weekend and if you’re in the Seattle area, you join us at the NWCCC Conference. Whatever you do, take a picture of it and share it!

The finishing shoot of our DLWS San Juan event was just gorgeous. We first went to a grove overlooking Friday Harbor where amazing light streamed through the canopy. This is a 7 image composite to hold the 11stops of light in the scene.
Then we headed over to South Beach to catch some great waves and nice clouds.
It’s been a great week with the folks of DLWS and our extended family, the DLWS Staff. Thanks one and all! Be sure to check out my good friends Laurie Excell and Kevin Dobler’s blogs for more great images!

The light came out, the water went glass and the shutters went flying!

I then turn to this shot, my favorite of the old building.
