A Leisurely Island Hike

Island life is a unique experience and a treasured one in the Lakes Region

 Rattlesnake Island offers a wonderful hike with views of the Belknap Range from her vistas

 giving us a glimpse into the beauty of a day spent on the water

 Slightly challenging to climb up to her peaks ….but without a doubt worth the effort

  As we make our way back

 ~ the thought of a refreshing swim in Lake Winnipesaukee becomes forefront on our minds…..

 Once refreshed a slow boat ride over to Bear Island
                                            followed by dinner

                    and dancing….  Suit coats not required  ;)

Workshop with Gregory Heisler

My week in Maine opened my eyes to seeing in a slightly different way

 Greg spoke of "motivating the practical" and walked us through his process of combining the ambient light with strobed lights.  LIGHT being the most important part of the photograph.  I feel like I'm the photographer that puts EMOTION first with the light being secondary.  Going forward I will be shifting gears to see the light.  

 It was a thoughtful process ~ slowed down to think through his ideas ~ not an exact science

I stored away so many ideas and thoughts to practice on my own.  The first being a trip to this old fort/jail with my friend Cathy.  Making pictures is fun but I'm learning the "process" is enjoyable as well ~ frustrating at times ~ but without a doubt always enjoyable.

Seeing the light ~ sounds simple but in reality much harder than I would have ever imagined.

Motivating the Practical

Set out to practice what I've learned in my recent workshop on LIGHT with Gregory Heisler.

 My girlfriend Cathy was excited to hear about what I had learned over my week in Maine ~ and I was excited to share.

 So we ventured to an old fort and set up some lights.  Mixing the ambient light in with strobes in a way to "motivate the practical" within the scene.   Windows and doors and wonderful color ~ setting the mood with light.

 After we packed away the strobes I took a bit a time with the natural light and beauty in the window

I enjoy both results.

Different looks for sure ~
no matter what I always walk away with a nugget of knowledge and the journey is ongoing…..

Mornin' on the Water

 Spent a little time with Danielle on Lake Winnisquam this morning.

 Before the crowds ~  the sandbar was quite relaxing

felt like we had the lake to ourselves…..
