Foggy Stride _NBP3068
Photographing for my book on Acadia National Park (Maine), I was excited to have foggy conditions the first morning. The graphic shape of the tree caught my attention. I setup to make a horizontal photograph, when a person walked in from the left of the frame and stood on the rocks. For a second I was irked, but quickly realized this was a good opportunity to include this person in my photograph. I quickly composed a vertical photograph and hoped he would go back out, through the left of the frame. A few seconds later he turned and strode off the rocks and I was able to make the photograph that I pre-visualized.
I started of looking to make serene photographs in the fog. However, the addition of this person and freezing the action added some dynamism. The orange shirt catches the eye, but the placement of the person is what really makes this photograph. I captured several foggy landscape photos that morning. This one is my favorite.
More information on my book will be posted soon.
