PostedWhile driving around the picturesque town of Rye, NH, I came across this scene and just had to stop. The "Posted" sign, barbed wire, and stone wall coupled with the maple tree in full foliage were so quintessential Yankee New England, that it needed to be captured. The fog rising behind added a bit of drama to the scene.
Vermont SunsetI was there to capture the sun setting behind Mt. Mansfield, not the cow. While setting up for what I thought was going to be an iconic Vermont sunset, dozens of cows came running over to me to see what I was doing (they were on the other side of an electric fence). As I moved to reset my shot, they would follow. Eventually, it was just me and this one curious cow. Move, reset, follow. Move, reset, follow. After about 10 minutes of her following me and me getting more frustrated, it then hit me that my subject was not the iconic Vermont sunset over Mt. Mansfield, but it was my new friend. I reset my camera to shoot handheld from an low angle and captured this shot while she was still curious. I would love to say that that I planned for the color of the sky and the flowers to match, and for her to tilt her head a bit to give a bit of a quizzical look, but truthfully, it was "right place, right time" and taking advantage of the opportunity that presented itself. This image has been my top grossing image.
The GuardianThe Guardian won honorable mention in the AAA Northern New England Journey Photo Contest in 2016, and as I wrote in my entry, I almost missed it. Portland Head Light is an hour north of my home, so to get there for sunrise means an early wake up call. On this morning, I could see the colors in the sky exploding as I approached Portland, ME. In order to get to Cape Elizabeth, where Portland Head Light is located, you have to go over the Casco Bay Bridge, a drawbridge, which on this morning was just rising as I got there. So, there I sat as a large tanker slowly entered Portland Harbor thinking that I had just gotten up early for no reason. The five minutes I waited for the tanker to clear the bridge felt like an hour as the sky continued to blow up. I don't remember driving the 5 miles to Portland Head Light from there, but I do remember running, with my gear, to this location to capture the moment. Catching my breath, I set up the camera for a 1 second exposure to catch a bit of the wave action, and captured the shot.
Into the BlueHampton Beach (NH) State Park has this wonderful jetty that extends several hundred yards out into the atlantic ocean. There to protect Hampton Harbor, it makes for a great subject, especially for a long exposure.This shot, taken on an overcast day in January of 2017, was a four minute exposure, more than enough time to smooth out the tides and allow the clouds to blur into monotone. Although recently taken, this shot has become a favorite on Instagram and Facebook, with it becoming the cover shot of the official Facebook page of Hampton Beach, NH.
