Recent Photos

I visited my Cousin Ed Weil in Andover, MA in early October. We shot some photos there and in Rockport, and went to New Hampshire and Maine for the fall colors. I OD'd on lobster and lobster buoys. The colors were nice, but the weather was pretty dark and rainy, and even a bit of snow, so we cut our trip short. Nevertheless I got some interesting images.

A Few of the Buoys

Harbor on Campobello Island

Andover pond

I was working to get interesting reflections of moving water with stationary objects, like Eddie Soloway. This will need work before I would exhibit it.

AT&T Park

Taken from the third deck during an A's Giants game. The A's lost.

Beetle light

I saw this in a parking lot in Sunol Park while doing a Trail Safety Patrol job. I used my pocket camera and waited a bit for the light to get less contrasty.

Blueberry field

Near Jonesport, Maine

Boats and net

An attempt at a Creative image.

Bringing in the Catch

I needed a finale for a show on lobster fishing gear, and I found one.

Bubble Pond

In Acadia national park on a dull day. I use 3-exposure HDR to make it interesting

Campobello

This is the Roosevelt summer "cottage" on an island just across the border in Canada

Colored hill

We saw a lot of hills like this from the Kancamangus Highway in New Hampshire, but most of the time the light was terrible and the distant colors didn't show up in the images. This took a fair amount of work in Photoshop to bring it out.

Diner

Found on Highway 101 just north of Buellton, enroute to Santa Barbara

Duckpond

In a cemetery in Andover, MA

Fishermen's protest

Spotted in Rockport, MA

Lobster Gear

An attempt to show buoys, nets, pots and boats in one image

Machias Church

Lots of bright white sky and white water that had to be dealt with, mostly by cropping but a little work with Curves.

Monument

In a cemetery in Andover.

Old Mill Stream

Made in Andover, MA. I used three RAW conversions in Photomatix to do a gentle HDR, so that the sky would be decent. You can see a dam in the foreground, and I think it was indeed a mill stream originally.

Pemigewasset river

Along the Kancamangus Highway in New Hampshire. Weather was so bad that we went back another day, but I was able to salvage this one with HDR on one RAW file.
