A foggy Maine coast photowalk on Deer Isle. Deer Isle is a real island off the coast of Maine.
Photo road trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico. The landscape that inspired Ansel Adams.
It’s raining tung tree blossoms right now in south Louisiana, a photographer’s delight. But where did these strange trees come from?
I’m working on some new landscape photographs from here in south Louisiana. The fall is a great time to get out and shoot and it’s almost here.
I’ve just concluded a two-week photographic safari of the Pacific Northwest. We looped up through Portland and Seattle before camping down the Oregon coast.
Nature photography close to home, right out my front dooor, actually. We’re transitioning from Winter to Spring in my Louisiana landscape.
Sometimes the best landscape photographs are there in tiny, up-close moments. On a late January walkabout, nothing is obvious to me in a big, overall view: it’s still a drab landscape from a distance. But forgetting about that and consciously slowing down, I start to see wonderful things up close….
My opening at the Henry Hood Gallery—two openings, actually—can now be termed a genuine success: between the initial opening on July 14 and a second ‘soft opening’ on July 21, I’ve sold 12 photographs out of the show, including one image that’s sold twice!…
Well, the day is almost here: tomorrow evening I have my opening of Lake Pontchartrain photographs at the Henry Hood Gallery in Covington, Louisiana! It’s been an incredible learning experience, putting everything together for the show: it involves so much more than making images…
It’s official: I’m having an opening at the Henry Hood Gallery in Covington, Louisiana, in 10 days—July 14th from 6 to 9 pm! My photographs of Lake Pontchartrain will be on view along with the glass sculpture of Wes Koon. It’s truly gratifying to have such a distinguished gallery interested in showing the work…
Driving the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway yesterday I was struck once more by the beauty of the big cloud formations forming and billowing before me: it’s maybe my favorite sensation related to the drive…
It’s taken much too long to work out all of the kinks, but I’ve finally gotten my flat boat up and running–not for fishing, but for photography. Adding a boat to my repertoire of shooting gear is opening up a whole new world of landscape vistas…
I had done a bit of scouting the day before and checked to see when sunrise would be. I knew it would be important to hit this area early, before the sunlight really got up enough to illuminate things…
Two photographs taken just minutes apart, but the contrast couldn’t be greater. New life and frozen death, two images shot within the space of a few yards and a few moments…
Photography today in the rain and fog: fantastic! I found myself thinking about the post I wrote some time back about how to photograph in the rain, because that was definitely what I was doing today…
Cheryl Gerber is a talented New Orleans-based photographer who has come out with a new book: ‘Love Pelicans.’ It’s a ‘Blurb for Good’ book that you can buy online and all profits from the sale go directly to the International Bird Rescue Research Center…
Photographing my sago palm, I’ve been thinking about the nature of abstraction in photography: what it is, how we employ it in our shooting, how it varies from genre to genre…
I went waterfall hunting last week. This is not so easy to do in Louisiana, where we’re known more for our swamps and bayous than our waterfalls. A photo expedition!
I’ve received a positive response, both in comments and offline in email, to the article I posted last week aggregating some landscape photography resources. This got me thinking about assembling a group of landscape photographs as a post. The idea that interested me was to limit the photographers featured to those that are members of our Discerning Photographer Flickr pool….
A confession: I love landscape and nature photography. I don’t consider myself a landscape/nature specialist, although nature photography was my very first photography love….Here are some landscape and/or nature photography articles or sites that I think you might find interesting.
Encountering a beautiful scene in a spot I had photographed before, I attempted to recreate from memory my original composition…see how successful I was (or not) and what it says about memory, photography and ourselves in this post.
The first frost of the winter season always makes me stop and look…Isn’t it interesting how, in order to photograph, you must switch gears? An early-winter reflection…
Ever find that trying to shoot those grand vistas proves frustrating? Seeing that sweeping view in front of you, slapping on that super wide angle lens and looking through the viewfinder, only to see all of the fabulous detail of the shot recede into the background? You may want to try photo “stitching.” Read on…
