I am going to switch things up a bit and move away from fall colors and head back north to Norway. This image was made this past August in Svalbard, Norway. It was shot from the ship while we were at anchor. I selected a square format and put very little land and water in the image as it was they sky that was so beautiful. Shot with a Nikon D800E and 8-400mm lens.
Morning Has Broken.
More from the Algonquin series.
More from my continuing series of images from the fall color shoot in Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada. Shot with the Nikon D800e, 80-400mm zoom
This past weekend Michael Reichmann, Chris Sanderson and I had a wonderful weekend shooting in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario Canada. This is one of the images made of Fall Colors. I’ll be publishing a new image each day for the rest of the week. Hope you enjoy them. All were shot with a Nikon D800E and various lenses.

I spent the last few days in Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada with Michael and Chris doing Luminous Landscape business. On the way Michael and I stopped in Holland Marsh(Canada) where we had a beautiful fog. I shot these celery harvesters there. I love shooting in fog and the subject matter here especially the guy with the big knife makes it work beautifully.
Seems there is a bit of controversy about the image I posted on Luminous-Landscape.com the other day. A lot of people liked it and a number of readers had a difficult time with it. Yes, I could have made a regular straight image as shown below (further down in the article). It would not have had the appeal at least for me and many readers as the final image did. So let’s see how the image evolved.
It has been worked on to bring out the details lost where there was no light and to generally give the image some pop. I used a few techniques that have been coined by friends as being “Raberized”. I like to think of it as RaberEYES. So, to the people that want to know, I liked this image the best.
The image below is the original image straight out of Capture One with no work done to it.
Pretty bland if you ask me. So, I made some adjustments in Capture One and began to see improvements but still not there.
So, at this point maybe some people would like this. I didn’t. I ultimately went into Photoshop and with the help of Third Party Tools as well as some Photoshop tools and ended up with the image that I published. I suppose we can argue to the cows come home what is right or wrong. For me the only thing that is right is that I liked the published version. Seems a lot of other people did too based on emails, comments and remarks published elsewhere. and on LuLa. I am the artist I take full responsibility for my actions, techniques and images. I had a lot of fun taking this and making this.
And, just for sake of qualifications, I can make Capture One, Lightroom and Photoshop do amazing things. I am an accomplished photographer and have been doing this my whole life. I have fun taking and making my images and every now and then as the artist I take certain liberties with my images and stretch it just a bit. when I do I get a lot of people that notice. I love sharing and I like it when an image stirs up discussions.
Thanks for visiting and reading.
This is another image from my growing Dolomites Collection. It has been a fantastic week of photography. Definitely planning another trip back to this region. So many places to shoot and weather makes such a difference. I’ll get a gallery up on this site soon.
This was a fun shot to do. We were on top of a mountain looking at the top of an even bigger mountain. I did a small hike and came to a location where I could see everything at once. It set the focal length of my 24-70mm zoom to 50mm and found the optimal exposure. I then did a series of shots in 4 rows. Photoshop stitched these together. I love panos and this one works to show the whole mountain. I’ll publish a few more here over the coming days.
