New England
Autumn
This fall I held a 2-Day Workshop in Acadia National
Park. We had about 16 folks with us for those two days. Each
morning and each evening we would head out to shoot along Ocean Drive
and a few other spots. The weather gave us an interesting mix with
an opportunity for some great shooting.
 Along
Ocean Drive
Acadia NP Maine
I shot this image on our last day of the workshop.
I've been shooting and doing tours here since the early 90s and it still
continues to inspire me.

Along Ocean Drive 2
Acadia NP Maine
This image was taken a day earlier. The waves from the overnight
rainstorm were still evident. I love photographing during or just
after a storm.
I never tire of this place as each day will invariably
be different!
 Through
the Gate
Along Rt 3 just below Upper Hadlock Pond
The Gate House near Northwest Harbor. You can do
some great shooting in the fall on Mt Dessert Island. This gate
house near the carriage roads in the park system is surrounded with
beautiful maple trees. While I am by know means an architectural
photographer, it is still a fun place to work the many shapes and angles
of this old gate house.
There is a large parking lot just past the gatehouse
allowing our large group a place to park and to photograph at this
location.
The Gate House
Near Northeast Harbor.
This a wide view of the gate house taken with my 12-24
Nikkor. As I always tell my students; Where there is two shots,
there's bound to be one!"
Yes I know what I just said!
 Red
Fox Pups
Near Baxter SP Maine
Just before school started in September, I took my son
Jesse up to Baxter State Park for a few days. We happened upon
these two Red Fox Pups who seemed more than willing to let me take a few
shots.

Springtime
Springtime was
especially rewarding this year as well. I love spending time in the
White Mountain National Forest where waterfalls are abundant and the streams
are running full.
 Bunchberries
and Ferns
Mt. Washington
White Mountain NF New Hampshire
Welcome to the Recent Trips page where you can see some of my
past trips though the eye of a camera. Most images on this page were
taken with the Nikon D200 and the 18-200VR Lens, or the 12-24 Nikkor.
My children used Nikon CoolPixs cameras.
New England is my back yard photographically speaking. I believe
you'll find all
the photographic opportunities anyone could ever ask for.
There are so many beautiful places in this world to photograph,
but as far as I'm concerned, you would be hard pressed to find any place
more inviting than New England. Enjoy the images on this page.
Amanoosuc River
White Mountain NF
New Hampshire
As usual, we started our spring visit in New Hampshire. Our
primary focus was water. The White Mountain NF, has an abundance of waterfalls. The
ever-changing weather, in this case, occasional showers, provided us with the
rich colors.
The Swift River
White Mountain NF
While I have never considered myself a black and white
photographer, Adobe's Lightroom allows me to experiment a bit.
The abundance of waterfalls in this area
gives a photographer plenty of subjects to work with.
Above the Sentinel Pine Bridge
Franconia Notch State Park, New Hampshire
A pleasant hike back along the Pemigewasset River brought
us to a covered bridge. I took this shot from the bridge looking
up-stream. Again thanks to all the rain we had during this tour,
every color just popped!
I like the balance of the green foliage as it cradles the
falling water.
I've come up with a few ways to mount an umbrella and
bracket on my tripod, allowing me to do a lot of shooting in the rain.
So often, we give up and head for the comfort of our hotel, only to miss some
of our best photography.
