Ted Gore Photography
Purple Poison
A fairly large milestone in my life has consumed me for the last 6 months, completely hindering my ability to fire up photoshop and get some shots processed. No, I didn't have a baby! My wife and I bought our first home, and adjusting to home ownership has been nuts to say the least, especially having bought a fixer upper. It's been a creative outlet in its own way, giving me the ability to work with my hands, making some home improvements I've always wanted to have, and gave me a much needed break from photography. Never a bad thing to let the creative muscles rest!
I had some time over the last weekend, as my house projects have started to slow down, and I decided to take a look at some images I had taken this past year. I'm happy to show you all first before I release! This is an image made of one of my favorite mountains of the Dolomites during the extended portion of Erin Babnik and my workshop we held last August. It was my third trip to this location trying to get a shot, and this night delivered when all previous attempts had not! This area is really visually unique because while you can't see it in the image, the right side of the mountain is a perfect huge green alpine meadow encompassing the entire south face of the mountain that ends right at the cliffs edge. In fact as we were shooting this there was a group of sheep hanging out in the grass right on the edge. Bold sheep! Here's a telephoto shot of them.
I spotted a perfect patch of these alpine wild flowers, known as Poisonous Monk's Hood(don't eat them), which made for some great foreground material, of which I hadn't really seen before in an image from the area. Active clouds moved through the peaks and while the horizon behind us looked like it might not have let the sun through, the much coveted break happened, and made some of the most incredible light shining on this beacon of the western Dolomites. Afterwords our elated group headed down the mountain(actually some of us ran down the wildflower covered meadow thanks to an... interesting running down the mountain technique taught to me by Steve Dondero) to enjoy a fantastic meal in the nearby hut we were staying in. That night is what a photography trip to the Dolomites is made of!
My workshop to the area next summer with Erin Babnik has a couple spots available. Wanna go? Get in touch via my website, www.tedgorecreative.com/dolomites-workshop-2017
