Finally back to posting after a great two weeks off. The first week was spent on my first photography workshop hosted by famed photographer, Bill Fortney. I must say that it was time extremely well spent. I learned more about photography during the week than I had in the past year. Bill has a wonderful way of teaching and making you think differently about approaches to shooting and composing images. More importantly, the fellowship exhibited by Bill, his team, guest instructor Matt Kloskowski and the other participants was wonderful. I highly recommend Bill’s workshops. Hopefully, you will be seeing some new looks in my photos.
The second week was dedicated to a little R&R including an extended family party to celebrate my Aunt’s 105th birthday. God bless her!
Anyway, this image is from Cathedral Ledge in North Conway, New Hampshire that was taken during my workshop. We had gotten to the ledge to photograph the sunrise but instead were faced with some great fog that quickly covered the valley after we got there. While we were hoping for a spectacular sunrise, the fog made for an even better subject against the backdrop of the White Mountains.
Wow Len, this is one helluva view! I love the look of the fog, breathtaking work man. Glad to hear that workshop went well and 105!!!!!!! WOW! God bless her indeed!

Lovely balance to this one, Len. Those splashes of color in the foreground are pretty special. and the fog has that ethereal quality to it. It speaks of calm and peace and tranquillity

This image is fantastic, what a view. I really like landscape shots with some fog. Really adds some of nature’s elements.

I really like the anchor of the cliff face and the bright colors of the early turning leaves in the foreground. They are the perfect balance to the muted colors caused by the fog in the rest of the scene. Nice job.
