Location: Lloyd Harbor, NY Year: 2000 Camera: Bronica ETRs 6 x 4.5 medium format film Lens: Bronica Zenzanon 75mm f/2.8 EII As the name implies, I took this photograph strictly for the shadow cast by the knob and the detail in the weathered paint. It is a close-up study of one of the horse stall doors, at Caumsett State Park, on Long Island, NY.
Location: Sayville, NY Year: 2008 Camera: Sony Digital Lens: Carl Zeiss 24-120mm f2.8 This was taken at the Meadow Croft Estate, in Bayport, Long Island, NY. The building on the right is the original barn/storage building on the property, which was in a state of decay. The building on the left is the replacement. I was attracted to the path leading between the buildings and the amount of detail in the new building and oak tree.
Location: Boynton Beach, FL Year: 2016 Camera: Canon Digital Lens: Canon 24-105mm L This "mountain" scene was actually a couple of piles of construction sand. Each was about thirty feet high. When isolated from their surroundings, and photographed from a low angle, the illusion of “extreme” height is achieved. The illusion of “snow” was created by a rain shower that had stopped about an hour earlier. Different areas of the sand dried at different rates. The areas in direct sunlight, dried sooner and give the appearance of snow, compared to those areas that stayed wet longer. This is especially true on the far right side. The large clouds add to the illusion.
