A slightly different approach to my recent shake style abstracts. I was looking through my older images from the last few years last night for the first time since the new year and it really struck me that a lot of those images really suck! Which is to say that I feel that either I've come a long way since then or my taste has changed dramatically! Funny how just when you think "you got it going on" a little bit of reorientation can really change that perspective! I wonder how I'll feel about this years work two years from now? Hopefully I'll still like it! Right then, have a good one chummies- Nate.
a quick edit before i head out the door- woke up this morning hoping to shoot some breaking storm clouds after an inch of rain yesterday. 30 knot winds were howling and i chose to go down to the ocean for seascapes but there were no clouds to the east, which was a bummer, so i headed to the ponds and found that the mountains in the middle of the island were pulling down the moisture into some awesome fast streaking forms that i lucked out with ultimately at Eagle lake. i love it when a plan comes together! have a nice day everybody and thanks for looking- Nate from Maine Usa.
rarely does a photo come knocking on my front door, usually i have to drag myself out of bed and go chase a scene somewhere, but yesterday morning brought some crazy sky waves in our general direction and to grab the camera was a must- monochrome seemed to bring out the drama better-
Though this would be a weird enough title for a fence shot.
So here's a recap of my this week in photography.
1. Found this hilarious guy on Youtube who talks about cameras with the biggest afro you've ever seen called FroKnowsPhotography www.youtube.com/user/JaredPolin you'll definitely get a laugh and might even learn something.
2. Had an interview in Photography Office where I talk about what kind of beer I like to drink when I develop images. www.photographyoffice.com/2012/03/fine-art-black-and-whit...
3. Had a blast making a bunch of ICM images on a nicely cloudy day Wednesday and blogged about playing with the camera. Wicked good times that! nateparkerphotography.com/blog/2012/3/shooting-for-fun
4. Tried again to get my frozen adapter ring off my 24mm f/3.5 TS-e by putting it near the hot glass furnace and using a strap wrench to loosen it- To No Avail!!! ARGH!
Right then. Minus the adaptor ring I wish I could have a week like that on a regular basis. Have a good one guys- Nate.
Good morning world. Here's one from the b-side from last Sunday. I've shot this tree on a cliff before- there's just something about it: resolute and intrepid and all, or something like that. And I'll happily take this opportunity to link you to my blog where I went on a rant yesterday afternoon regarding gallery owners: nateparkerphotography.com/blog/2012/7/its-friday-so-it-s-.... It was fun at the time but I wonder if it still holds up today? Whatever. Have a good one friendos and make some good pictures this weekend! -Nate.
another of the texture studies I was working on the other day, the rest are here: nateparkerphotography.com/blog/2012/9/sand-beach-texture-.... Have a good one!
I finally wrote the Black and White Manifesto that I've been meaning to for a while here: nateparkerphotography.com/blog/2012/6/to-black-and-white-.... Approved for all ages. Have a great week and I hope you all win money- Nate.
just got out of work, here's a picture, but now i gotta go watch the hockey game- game 6 what a Nail Biter! have a good one everybody- Nate.
Made this the other day on my waterfall walk. Now check this out: here's a video of my buddy breaking a bottle with his bare hands! It's completely safe and he describes it as another of the many useful techniques he has for defending himself and his family in the zombie apocalypse. nateparkerphotography.com/blog/2012/6/how-to-break-a-bott...! Awesome! Have a good one folkies- Nate.
I've took it a few minutes ago :) Have a nice Sunday, folks! Thanks for all!
Now I have one: formspring
i guess i missed waterfall wednesday, so here's one for my self dubbed whatever thursday from a stream off Cadillac mountain in Acadia. the island was packed with photographers and photo tours last week, and they got some good conditions for foliage too. what's the deal with the photo tours tho, i mean like it's not necessarily about being a tour guide because the leaders of the tours aren't even from around here, it must be more of a how to shoot kind of thing, whatever, seeing some interesting takes from other shooters photoing my neighborhood, often very inspiring. have a good one fellas. -Nate from Maine Usa.
It's thursday, and all is well. Made this last Sunday morning. High surf warnings were in effect from a storm out in the Atlantic and I was looking forward to getting some drama-full seas, but they were just slightly above average. The waves will be here, at that point I will be shooting this spot from up on that cliff on the right of the frame for safety, but this morning needed that I get a little closer. Have a good one! -Nate.
Provincetown Massachusetts. Photoing around the outer Cape during my visit with my folkies for thanksgiving. I have always kind of had a hard time understanding the infatuation with long exposures under the pier, until i tried it for myself, and which was also a great opportunity to get out of the rain. Feels like there are a bunch of interesting potential images under here through careful and choice composition, I was in tour mode though so only stayed under here for about 10 minutes, but I like the curve. Right then, see ya next time, Nate.
Today, many wading birds, waterfowl, turtles and other wildlife can be seen at the lake, including the most famous residents, the swans, whose population dates back to 1922. Today, there are several swan species living at Lake Eola: trumpeter swans, black-neck swans, whooper swans, royal mute swans and Australian black swans. Visitors can buy special approved food to feed these graceful birds from feeders found around the lake.

Time for the yearly retrospective in pictures- nateparkerphotography.com/blog/2014/1/my-best-of-2013-in-...
Have a great year everyone-
often my first stop on the sunrise side of the island- schooner head road on the park loop, you'll find me most often on this stony beach or a quarter mile in either direction. there is so much to take in here, i started with wide angle- cause i'm just a punk youngstah- but 50mm through macro is a lifetime of discovery here. this was about 15 minutes after sunrise, which was a murky blue darkness, i thought it would be a bust, then got distracted closer to the water line when this suddenly developed in front of me and was gone again 10 minutes later.

wanted to get this out there before i go to work, probably not the final edit. -tried to get some wave photos yesterday but the wicked bad blowing spray forced me to wrap and seal my camera and lens in a big zip-lock baggy which made it extremely difficult and not fun to use, not to mention the front element (uv filter) getting lashed with sand and foam etc. i even tried a long exposure in like 40 mile an hour winds which was a ridiculous proposition and yielded hardly even abstract results. anyway this morning seemed much more promising with a 16-20 foot surf forecast and clear skies so i had a much better time at it today and could have stayed out there through the afternoon if i didn't have to go to work. well hope everyone got through it all ok and that you got your internet back, and have a nice day. -Nate
well 500px seems to be broken as there is a notification that the server is down and performing maintenance. which is weird as everyone was saying how good it is for professional quality hosting but isn't even accessible! anyway i figure i'll use 500px for a more select portfolio which i'll reference to future potential customers and keep hanging around here at flickr for the community. with that in mind, i might as well dump off a bunch of outtakes and iphone photos just for fun. right then. hope everyone is having a good one and not too hot, mtc, Nate.
*Great Meadow and Lily Pads*
Took a few minutes out of my busy schedule to make a picture in the Great Meadow Sunday morning, waded up to my hips to get this. Wrote a bloggy about printing here: nateparkerphotography.com/blog/2012/6/making-photographic..., if you wanna read it. Right then, that's all I've got for now, have a good one fellas -Nate.
This is where the marsh leads to the sea. I've shot here before but I didn't have my big boots, so this time I got right in the middle of the flow to catch these ripples reflecting the sky. If you want a yuck go over to my bloggy where I explore "Why do you take pictures?" Worth it at least for the images of Richard Simmons and my dog. nateparkerphotography.com/blog/2012/2/why-do-you-take-pic...
Have a good one fellas!
