Petrified Log - Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. Shot on Velvia 50 with a Canham 4 x 5 and a Schneider 90XL lens at f32 for 4 seconds.

Hi everyone. Welcome to today’s post. This image is one from the vault. Recently I have been going through some of my 4 x 5 exposures in an effort to organize my image archives. It is quite an undertaking and it is amazing what you can uncover when you get organized. This is one of my favorite images from a trip to Petrified Forest National Park and is the result of scouting the location and being blessed with excellent weather. I was wandering through the Blue Mesa area of the park when I cam across this massive log perched on a precarious pedestal of eroded earth. The problem was the logs “best side” was completely in shadow and would be best shot in the early morning. So I set up my 4 x 5, composed the shot, left everything in place, and hiked out to the car to head back to the hotel. Ok, so I know what you are thinking. Yes its true. I left a perfectly good, and expensive, 4 x 5 in place for the next morning’s shoot. But it was in a remote area that was not typically open to the public and I was the last one out of the park as the rangers closed the gate. I had already arranged for early morning access with the park so I was pretty sure everything would be in place. And sure enough it was. The sun rose right on time, the beautiful wisps of clouds moved in, and I had my shot.

Blue Mesa is a spectacular area and I was humbled to have access to its splendors. As I sat an waited for the sun to rise I could only imagine what it must have been like for our early ancestors to have walked in this place. I sat huddled in the morning chill and looked out upon the landscape. It was quiet and peaceful and as night gave way to the brilliance of dawn I existed completely in that moment. It was as if all time just slowed down. I watched as the disk of the sun broke the horizon and felt the first rays upon my face. Light rolled towards me across the barren desert and in seconds enveloped the log. A few seconds later I knew it was time to go to work.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Bridge and Stones – Savannah River Watershed

Bridge and Stones, Savannah River Watershed. Shot with a Canham 4 x 5 and a Schneider 90mm XL lens. Image exposed on Fuji Velvia 50 at f22 for 15 seconds.

Hi everyone. Today’s post is one from the vault. I love rivers and bridges on a foggy morning. I have always found this time of the day to be peaceful and serene. This shot is of the Highway 29 bridge just outside of Hartwell, Georgia. The bridge passes over the Savannah River which flows below the Lake Hartwell Dam. On this morning dawn broke with a grey overcast sky and a light fog along the river. The fog was almost ghost like as it shifted up and down the rivers edge. The river below the dam is slow moving, almost still in fact, and allows for capturing reflections. On this morning I wanted to pick up the reflection of the treeline and the bridge in the river but also feature the foreground rocks. To make this work I used a Heliopan Circular Warming Polarizer. I set the polarizer wide open and began to slowly turn it to reveal the rocks just under the rivers surface. I took this out to just about 1/3 in to the scene. The result I think worked very well. I was able to capture the leading lines of the bridge and its reflection and contrast these against the rocks and treeline.

Every time I look at this image I feel the calm stillness of that morning. It was cool for July but the hint of the days coming humidity was thick in the surrounding air. Occasionally a lone car would pass overhead, the repetitive thump, thump, thump, of tires striking the expansion joints reminding me that I was not alone. As the car moved on silence returned to the river. Wouldn’t it be great to start everyday this way.

Thanks for stopping by today.
