Bald Knob Kissed By Winter
Posted by Marc on September 6, 2007
| This was the panoramic image that got the ball rolling for me. I recall hiking on an early January day. I was disappointed at the lack of snow for backcountry skiing, so I contented myself with shooting photographs of the early winter dusting of snow. I spent 15 minutes and about 30 frames photographing a cute little pine tree that had been windbeaten over the years. When I was done, I turned around and rapidly--without thinking too much--snapped 7 images in succession for this panoramic. When I got home I was speechless. The image was beautiful. This image was the first wide format panoramic that I felt could be considered Fine Art. I still take pride in this image even while my technique making panoramics has evolved. It just goes to show that photography, and art, is as much about emotion as technique. Here is what I wrote shortly after taking the picture. | Frame Size: Date: Medium: Price: | 18.5" x 52" January 2005 Fine Art Pigment Inkjet Print $505, Framed |
