A clearing sky, saturated color and a verdant hilltop called for a color photograph this time at the orchard in Bridgewater, where the previous black-and-white infrared photograph was made. Luckily, this idyllic spot was left unscathed by the destructive storm that ripped through town the day before.
High sun and strong shadow, often a photographer’s downfall, are a perfect fit for this infrared landscape.
Luckily the trees were blossoming at the same time the sunlight and sky cooperated for this landscape yesterday. Today the rain is back. Not exactly ideal for forays in infrared.
Dustings of snow, like powdered sugar, made winter just a bit more lovely this year.
Now …
Then …

Today’s rain and breaking sun offered dramatic skies and magical light. The white spire viewed from the hill in New Preston had caught my eye before, but this time the bare branches and heavy sky provided the right setting and mood.

Autumn bounty before winter sets in and the farmstand closes for the season.

The glaring sunlight shimmered on the water at Compo Beach in Westport, Conn., on this torrid autumn day. The cloud bank clinging to the horizon and masking Long Island across the sound, was singular enough to make me want to capture the scene.

The undulating hills viewed from this spot overlooking the Ashokan Reservoir calls me to the water’s edge once again. Photographing toward the light with the sun just out of the camera frame washes the scene in a monotone.

A fence line against a perfect summer sky. How could I resist walking up the field to capture the simple composition. My friend Marc had kindly parked along the road so I could make the shot. As usual, he had my back (see his photo of the moment entitled “Don’t Fence Me In” at his blog: marcisolda.wordpress.com )
