Henniker Bridge in Twilight
Although it was built in 1972 the Henniker Covered Bridge, on the New England College campus, is still a classic. In this picture from my review of this year's Autumn season:
I loved the way the warm, trans-illuminating light ignited the fall colors.

Pulpit Falls, Finally!
After three tries, I finally found Pulpit Falls, in Winchester, NH.
The falls are beautifully situated in the middle of the forest and was more impressive than I expected.

I got to Jamaica Vermont when it was still quite misty on Ball Mountain Brook. It was a long but fruitful day cruising north on Rt 100, up the middle of Vermont.

As the color began to fade in the Monadnock Region, I went south to Royalston, Massachusetts and the dramatic Doane's Falls.
The autumn rains had kept the falls and cascades active, nicelt contrasting with the remaining color.

I've gotten some thoughtful and interesting responses to my blog about Adobe's attempt to enslave us all in the cloud.
Everyone has their own approach largely dependent on their work flow. There is a lot of anger out there and a lot of emotion regarding individual choices. I am increasingly loving Lightroom 5 and I think if I was not so happily married to the power of regular Photoshop, I might consider using LR combined with Photoshop Elements for some light pixel pushing. That would be just one more option that I didn't mention in the article. I'm sure there are many more, including chucking it all and taking up water colors.

I drove up Rt 100 in Vermont yesterday looking for color. My planned end point was the beautiful Moss Glen Falls in Granville, Vermont. Although I started before dawn, I had quite a few stops along the way and got to the falls in the bright late morning sunlight. I did the best I could with neutral density filters and bracketing, but then as I was poise precariously on the rocks, the sun began to occasionally dip behind the patchy clouds. I shot as fast as I could whenever the softer light appeared.

Moss Glen Falls in Granville, Vermont this weekend. I had to grab the moments when the sun fell behind clouds. It is a long way up there, so, when I make the trek, I try to get every angle I can think of.

Every fall I come back to this little back road shortcut. I have never felt fully happy with the results, but this photo, with the late season color, is my favorite so far. I'll be back next year.

The Castle, Then and Now
You can almost see Madame Sherri's fabled castle in the remains of her once proud spiral staircase.
Before you visit this magical spot in the forest of Chesterfield, New Hampshire, check out the Madame's story in this week's blog and let me know if you sense her presence among the ruins. Composite image from 1940's and 2010.

Lsst night was nice and clear. I kept myself out to 3AM grabbing the sky. I was looking for darker skies up high in Walpole, New Hampshire. Just about a second of light painting was all I needed to add some detail to the watchfull trees. At what point do we get tired of Milky Way pictures? Not yet.

I was searching for lights before the Straight No Chaser concert in Boston Tuesday night. Commonwealth Ave was my favorite. I didn't have my tripod, so I had to be creative for stabilization, including, at one point, using Susan's head. I'm trying to collect more pictures for an article on shooting Christmas lights for the New England Photography Guild later this month. Hopefully the snow will come through tomorrow to add the final touch to the show.

Birth Spiral
Spring is a great time for macro photography and especially early when the buds are just awakening.
The new life has a soft purity unsullied by the ravages of wind, drought or pestilence. It lasts only a few days, but it is well worth getting down, dirty and close. Spofford, New Hampshire.

Monadnock Beacon
I was out into the predawn hours last weekend shooting the Milky Way across Dublin Lake and Mount Monadnock.

I was reminded of the critical importance of the foreground in star field images. My blog this week reflects on why the Milky Way just isn't enough anymore.

I was waiting to see if the sky would clear for the aurora last night, so I worked on an image from the archives of Portland Head Light on a perfectly clear winter dawn. No luck with the sky last night.

Gleason Wall
The Gleason Stone Arch Bridge crosses the cascading Beard Brook in Hillsborough NH. I had to drop by on my recent visit to nearby Fox Forest.
The bright mid afternoon light was a challenge but I was able to fight off the black flies to wait for the occasional wispy clouds providing fleeting shade.

Just spent the morning doing a one-on-one photo workshop with a lovely woman in Walpole. It is so much fun to introduce an enthusiastic photographer with a great eye to the mysteries of her digital camera. A beautiful home and a lovely waterfall on the property. Our first snow of the season!

I've been playing with my new "Carry-Around" Camera and so far I've been having fun:
Check out my early thoughts on the Canon SX50HS. There is more to it than its ridiculous 50X Zoom, but 24mm-1200mm is pretty sweat.

I went up to Fox Forest in Hillsborough, NH today in anticipation of next week's blog. Lovely day but much of the time it was too bright for wildflowers. While in town I had to drop by Gleason Falls. I spent a lot of time being surrounded by Black Flies while I waited for the rare cloud to pass by.

Pasture at Sleep
The Storm has past and I've just finished digging out. I'm getting ready to go out to catch some "Winter Wonderland", but if you need a break from the cold, check out my blog about the warm Galapagos Islands.
It is the ultimate location for exotic wildlife photography.
Or you can hang around here and see more of this winter stuff, like the snowy pasture at Hubner Farm in Chesterfield, NH.
