Inside the Gates Family Bridge, Cambridge, Vermont.
I took this photo at roughly the same time as my other photo of the Gates Family Bridge in Cambridge, VT. This photo was a 7-shot HDR.
Dog Bar Breakwater Lighthouse, Gloucester, MA.
My wife and I took a sailing trip in the Gloucester Harbor where I was able to take this photo of the Dog Bar Breakwater Lighthouse.
Taking an HDR photo from a boat is a giant pain. To get three clean shots, you have to time the up and down movement of the boat exactly. (The calmer the water, the better.) Even then, I had to do some heavy editing to clean up the movement shadows from the HDR processing.
A Seat by the Sea, Ogunquit, ME.
I took this nice sunset 3-shot HDR photo near Ogunquit, ME. There’s a small beach nearby, and when the lifeguard is on duty, they can watch the swimmers from this chair. It has a commanding view, and it’s a fantastic spot for anyone to watch the ocean.
Pink Sunset, Salisbury, Massachusetts.
Sometimes, you’re just standing in the right place at the right time. You have your camera ready to go and it’s pointing in the right direction at the right things. Such was the case with this sunset over the Merrimack River as seen from the town pier in Salisbury, MA (facing Newburyport). For a brief moment - maybe 60 seconds - an already beautiful sunset suddenly lit up the sky with the most psychedelic shade of pink. For an instant, the river and sky were the color of pink lemonade, and then it was over.
This was a 7-shot HDR with some basic cleanup in Photoshop (to correct for some of the boat movements between shots). Otherwise - not much was done to this photo. If anything, I toned down some of the pink. It was one of the craziest sunsets I have ever seen.
Gates Bridge, Cambridge, Vermont.
The Gates Family Bridge was originally in a different location, but after the Seymour river changed its path in the 1950s, the bridge was moved to this location. It currently provides access to the Gates Farm via VT 15 in Cambridge.
This is a 3-shot HDR.
House and Barn, Jeffersonville, Vermont.
Please consider helping those who were impacted by Hurricane Irene. Thousands of Vermonters are homeless, and many of them are cutoff from traveling due to the destruction of roads and bridges all across the state. Without roads, homeowners are cutoff from rebuilding their homes, and many will be unable to get deliveries of heating oil or gas in time for winter.
If you can, please consider donating to some of the many charities supporting Vermont relief efforts for Hurricane Irene:
Vermont Red Cross
Mad River Valley Community Fund - The Mad River Valley was especially hard-hit by Hurricane Irene, with destruction hitting Waitsfield, Warren, Moretown, and Granville.
The United Way of Chittenden County is acting as the fiscal agent for the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund.
#VTResponse - A site for those who have the time or resources to help Vermonters, first hand.
Farm at Sunset, Cambridge, Vermont.
Two weekends ago, I took a quick vacation to Cambridge, Vermont. I love Vermont, with its beautiful scenery, gorgeous farms, and scenic landscapes.
Yesterday, that same beautiful, innocent, wonderful place was washed away by the rains of Hurricane Irene. Across Vermont, three people are dead, dozens of roads and bridges are destroyed, and thousands of people are homeless. Formerly pristine farms have been washed away, and bountiful crops are now lost.
I am heartbroken - for the people of Vermont and for their beautiful state. I don’t know what to say or do, other than to keep posting my Vermont photos and hope that it reminds people of what a wonderful place Vermont can be.
This photo (3-shot HDR) was taken at sunset in Cambridge, VT. Behind the house is actually the Lamoille River, which flooded severely like many of Vermont’s rivers. I don’t know the current status of this farm, but I sincerely hope that everyone is ok.
Please consider donating to the American Red Cross. Vermonters, along with everyone affected by Hurricane Irene, could use your support.
Barn and Silo, Fletcher, Vermont.
A barn and silo in Fletcher, Vermont. This photo uses a very light HDR treatment - mainly to capture more detail in the foreground and sky.
 Even then, I had to do some heavy editing to clean up the movement shadows from the HDR processing.){kind=link}
