I took this shot at sunrise over Willard Beach. The fence is used to provide leading lines.

Photo Friday: A Day at the Beach
March 25, 2016Coming from a land locked state, like Colorado, I didn’t grow up with the opportunity to head to the beach anytime I wanted; so when I moved to Maine in 1998, the first place I headed was to the nearest beach I could find.
Spending the last 17 years within one block of the nearest Beach, I head out there as often as possible, and I never grow tired of the new and various things I find that attract my mind. This last Tuesday I even saw a loon for the first time in my life.
Here are some of the photographs I took on this trip.
Photo Friday: Braving the Waves
January 29, 2016Today’s photo Friday is brought to you by Fort Williams; home of the Portland Headlight. I took today’s pictures on a very cloudy day at Fort Williams, and the Waves put in a very good show for the camera. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s 5,000 words worth.
Photo Friday: A new look at photographic cliché.
April 24, 2015Here’s a subject I’ve been thinking about for a video, and I just posted it on NaturallyPhotographic on YouTube. Thanks to Instagram, Twitter, and other equally prominent social media sites, many of the photographs we grew up loving have become common, and everyday; shots like sunrises, sunsets, and food.
With such a subject saturation, both amateurs and professional photographers have started to steer clear of subjects that could still have so much potential. The question is, how can you take a photograph of, say, a sunrise, and still give it something special? Today’s photograph is my response to that. It is a simple answer that is more simple than it seems. Introduce a new element that isn’t found in other photographs.
In my case, I chose to use The Spring Point Light sillouhetted against the sunrise, with a tanker floating nearby, waiting to enter Casco Bay. This not only adds interesting elements, but it also gives you a sense of location, and time of day.
Before I start rambling, here is the link to my channel to see the video https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2IaJTvV8u1BwIJbu3kc5oA Check it out, and here is the picture, I hope you all enjoy.
I even did the wide angle
Photo Friday: No Better Artist
February 6, 2015One of the reasons; and I can say the main reason, I chose nature photography is that I have never seen a painting, sculpture, or the work of any artist that can come close to the beauty nature has given us. Today’s photographs were taken at the marina behind our home.
During this time of the year, ice forms on the water, and with the rising and lowering of the tides, the ice breaks, and refreezes in very interesting patterns. These patterns show a beautiful display of texture.
Here then are the two photographs I took this afternoon.
