We woke up to breaking skies and ground fog. You just can’t get any better and by the time the staff was at the van to head to breakfast, the magic was unfolding. It happened fast, really fast, so fast that I barely got the 70-200 on the body and I had to run, literally (Ben Willmore was very proud to get a running “moose” on a iPhone snap). I didn’t have time to grab my shade which would helped a little, because to make the images, I had to shoot towards the sun. Without the shade, I got some flare.

Nope, you aren’t going to see any of those little green globes with this flare, but a loss of contrast and color. I didn’t worry about it though. The ground fog kept forming, I kept running and clicking and this is what I came back with. Simply using the Black Slider in ACR, I got back the contrast and color and to me, two cool clicks of a really sweet morning!

During the night the heavens opened up on us and didn’t stop until dark. No matter, we went out shooting any hoo and were greatly rewarded. We went back to the trestle and with the rain, it was even better. Now, how was I going to make the image? I had plenty of on site time to think about it since there is only one spot that is dead center in the tracks. So I stood, waited an thought. The way I ended up doing it and liking the results was this HDR “tilted” image. I just wanted a little in focus and then let the lines do the rest.

With the rain came wet rocks everywhere. This made this photograph possible because otherwise, all the rocks on the side of the river would have been white, ugly and a visual eyesore. This is a 6 image – image. The base for all the trees and sky is a 5 frame HDR. The River is a straight shot. Then in PS, the HDR image and River image were combined. It was a great morning, wet, but great!

Standing in the middle of a road, here’s the four compass points…no matter where you turn in New Hampshire, it’s simply gorgeous!

Water, we just love water and Silver Cascade provided a great subject. Can you tell it’s raining? The overcast was great because it not only provided a slower shutter speed but it saturates the colors making the photo comes together.

One constant challenge is how to record the color. When I finished this photo is class for a lesson, the question came up, “Why Black & White?”

The reason is the detail in the texture. I feel it’s lost in the color. I framed it up for the detail in the texture, end of story.
