A Walk in Nature

As I was walking (with camera and tripod, of course) down a lonely dirt road near Moosehead Lake, Maine, I spotted this grouping of ferns.  What caught my eye was the yellow fern at the center of the grouping, which created a good point of interest for a photo.  I don't recall the details of this particular shot, but I'm pleased with the richness of the colors in the final print.  Like many of my other photos, this one is available for framing from my web store.

Like many of you, I love to make discoveries such as this while I'm out walking and for that reason, I always have a camera with me.  Who knows what exciting image you'll find?

An Experiment with Infrared Photography

I've recently gotten interested in infrared photography and purchased a used Nikon D300 that had been converted to infrared.  For those who may not know, infrared cameras record the low wavelength light, rather than the mid-range waves we see with our eyes.  As a result, colors come out looking different when photographed using infrared technology.  The effects can be interesting.  While I've only just begun to explore this subject, I've created a few photos that I like. 

These three photos are from the first set I created.  All were taken in the horse country region of Fauquier County, Virginia.  I am offering them for sale on my web site.

Moon Shot

On a recent trip to Moosehead Lake, near Greenville, Maine, I was able to make the following shot during the early morning hours.  The sun was not yet up, the water was still, and the moon was high over Burnt Jacket Mountain as it prepared to set.  The photo illustrates the peacefulness of the morning as the sky above the mountain began to gain color.

The first photo in the Moosehead Lake Collection

I decided to publish a collection of these photos from Moosehead Lake and make them available for sale on the web.  This is the first of those photos.  They'll be available as 8 1/2 X 11 inch prints on archival quality paper, ready to frame and hang.  The whole collection can be seen on my website, http://www.positives.biz.

To these first photos, I will be adding other collections as time permits:

• Landscapes
• Rural scenes
• Wildlife
• Infrared photos
• Art prints

If you find these images as interesting and beautiful as I do, I hope you'll let me know.  Leave a comment here, or write me at cobblermtnpress@gmail.com.
