My iPhone 6 Project: In Search of Mud!
Southern Vermont
Curious time of year in southern Vermont, Mud Season!
taint quite winter, taint quite spring.
It's a time of year when that normally quaint, serene, country roads turns into a vicious car swallowing gelatinous sludge, that will make you wish you never ventured forth on that nice warm day.

My iPhone 6 Project: Split Rail
Lincoln, Vermont
Friday I was traveling in Northwestern Vermont, and just after sunset I came across this site; on one side of the road this seemingly endless split rail fence, and on the other side the sun dropping below the horizon, giving off its last glow of the day.

Portrait: Five little kids are they
ISO 200 35mm lens 1/100th of a second f/10 studio lighting conditions; All shot as RAW images
What is the easiest way to photograph 5 children all under 10 for a group portrait, without pulling your hair out?
Quick answer: Don't do it! Hire someone. ;-)
This is what I spent my New Years Day 2015 working on.
Anyone who has tried to take a group portrait of kids together in a formal setting will know that even on the best day it isn't easy. Either they are arguing about something, fighting with one another or no one wants to cooperate, and you can't reason with them, they're kids! However, if you can get them alone they tend to be really interested in what is going on and want to help.
So what I decided to do was to take individual portraits of each child shot against a white backdrop, making sure that I used the same lens, and settings, to take each shot. The tripod was set at the same level. I changed their seating position on the chair to get the right angles when processing later.
Once all the images were taken, I cut the white backdrop out so that when I added the colored background it would look like they were all together when the picture was taken. Essentially this is a collage of 5 independent images, imposed on top of a sixth photograph (which was taken 4 days before).
Six images taken on two separate days in different places stitched together to form a single portrait. It was a fun project and I got pretty good results for my first time attempting it.

My iPhone 6 Project: Winter Lake
Lee, Massachusetts
Today's travels brought me to South Western Massachusetts, in the Berkshires to this small lake along Route 20. As you can see it was right at dusk.
