We visited Storm King on our way home from NYC as a car break / art break. I need to get back and wander more…

NYC
Spent last week with the fam in NYC, and it was a treat sharing one of my favorite places with the girls. I lived in Manhattan for a bit during a studio exchange program and for a year of grad school whilst at Columbia. Good memories and bad, hard and good times during that time of my life, sweet and delightful to wander with the girls.
Beavertail Point
A bit of work travel – Boston area and then Providence, RI – I stopped at Beavertail Point in Jamestown, RI at dusk and enjoyed the mosquitos and evening light. I took a series of shots that I stitched into a quick panorama in Lr. There was moving water and changing light, and I have a second series of shots that I may try to develop into a larger version, with more detail spent on blending the water as it changes from shot to shot.
There were several men fishing off the rocks as the tide came in, and the light was operating behind me.
Wolfe’s Neck 2
A second panorama I shot at Wolfe’s Neck State Park, Maine. I have some stitching glitches to resolve in the water / reflections – going to be a bit of an education cloning and hand painting in PhotoShop.
Silver Surfer
Silver light, mist, the ocean, at Popham Beach State Park, Maine.
Wolfe’s Neck
Panorama at Wolfe’s Neck State Park, Maine as the tide creeps back in and the Earth rotates towards the Sun.
One of the more ambitious photo attempts to date: 117 image panorama, 3 bracketed shots each of the 39 camera positions, 3 rows – processed in LR and stitch in PTGui Pro.
The Library
I stayed with friends in the Berkshires and had the pleasure of staying in the guest house they rent out for vacations. This is the ‘library’ – a hand crafted cruck timber frame. I took two sets of pano images while sipping cider before tucking in for the night – the static image below was shot from the doorway to the room, and this spherical panorama was shot from the center.
I wish I had noticed the chairs weren’t equidistant from the doorway before packing everything up. It bugs me – but I’ll slow down next time and do a better survey of the scene before I start.
Try, Fail, Learn, Repeat.
Olympic Park
Traveled to the top of the tower at Olympic Park in Montreal – even with the haze we were able to see the mountains of Vermont from high atop the city.
