Blessed by the SRG’s
They would be the Sunrise Gods.
Received a call from a new client on Wednesday who needed an image that would illustrate ‘A new sunrise on the horizon’. And she needed it by Tuesday. We scouted the site Thursday, chose an angle that would work the sunrise, and planned to shoot it the following morning. I knew it would be clear, so we were good there. But, the shot also needed two other critical elements. First, some clouds … not too many, but enough to add that etherial quality that the client wanted. Second, it had to be calm so I could do my flash-painting. In the end, the SRG’s shown down upon us offering beautiful skies, calm conditions, and a real sun that showed up at just the right place. A special thanks to Beth, at Masterpiece Marketing, who didn’t mind getting up way before dawn to make things happen … and was a complete pleasure to work with. And to Marcia … always there, willing to do what’s necessary to oil the machine. We’re expecting around 6 inches of snow, so I’m glad this one is on my hard drive.
Farewell to Maine
These days are numbered
Morning by the lake
Why I love summer mornings
I usually take a lot of grief for my love of summers high temps and humidity. But, I’m a morning person and my camera gets super excited when dawn breaks hot and hazy. These were shot in a nearby natural park where I went intending to do some light painting. I’ll go back to ‘paint’ the tree with some strobe, but this morning there was no improving on what the sun was doing.
