One of many personal sources of inspiration is the work of Michael Kenna. I’ve long related to Michael’s observations of solitude and the meditative aspect of long exposure photography.
There’s no doubt, some of my most satisfying photography experiences have involved early dawn or late evening and the setting-up and creation of a seascape or landscape image.
Taking a quick break from working on some really cool client albums…I downloaded and sorted images from last weekend’s photo walk with the family. This is a favorite among the batch:
This was an exciting image to make, as the cloud cover was intense.
And the clearing just below the heavy marine layer practically served as a natural fill flash on the rocks.
The latest addition to the Ocean Abstracts series…I’m diggin’ the tranquility of this image, combined with the hint of momentum in the water.
I’ve been spending a lot of time experimenting with motion - and have become especially interested in applying movement to fine art seascapes. I like the abstract quality that long exposures + camera motion add to the image. This sunset image was created with a long exposure and a steady left-right panning of the tripod. Of the 50 or so photographs captured, this is a leading favorite.
Have a great weekend.
Slowly building a new body of work — Ocean Abstracts.
This image began as an accidentally over-exposed detail shot from a recent wedding (the table and vase being completely blown-out). It caught my eye when browsing through my Lightroom catalogs.
I brought back some exposure to the image, and converted to black & white…diggin’ it now.
