LOCATION: Parsonsfield Date: October 13 Time: 5 p.m. Equipment: 150mm lens “Reverent is how I feel in graveyards. Respectful, seeing gravestones in a row, families still held together by stone walls and wrought-iron fencing. First I framed the image with the gravestones and mountains, but the fencing seemed so important–families being protected from … what […]
LOCATION: Biddeford Pool Date: October 18 Time: 6:35 p.m. Equipment: 60mm lens “I was just losing the sun, and I just happened to see the yellowing leaves and rose hips on the bushes. There’s so much more to capture in autumn than colorful leaves alone.”
LOCATION: Parsonsfield Date: October 13 Time: 11:30 a.m. Equipment: 60mm lens “The leaves falling, the rocking chairs on the porch, the white New England house, the colors with the sun poking in and out, were too good to pass up.”
LOCATION: Keoka Lake, Waterford Date: October 11 Time: 8:00 a.m. Equipment: 40mm lens “After shooting sunrise at Bear Pond, I returned to the lake in Waterford where I’d scouted some colorful leaves earlier, and I captured one of my favorite shots yet: a canopy of yellow leaves hanging down over the beach, with lake and […]
LOCATION: Cornish Date: October 13 Time: 1:00 p.m. Equipment: 60mm lens “This was a quick shot. I wanted to get so many views, but I had to pick my daughter up at the school bus. When my film is processed, every time I receive it it’s like receiving a Christmas gift. I may have an […]
LOCATION: Paradise Hill, Bethel Date: October 10 Time: 6:40 a.m. Equipment: 40mm lens “I went to where I knew there would be color, on the east side of the mountain. I like the whimsy of the trees, almost Dr.Seuss-like, with slender trunks and bushy tops.”
LOCATION: Bear Pond, Waterford Date: October 11 Time: 6:15 a.m. Equipment: 40mm lens “I’d gone by Bear Pond in the dark, so I hadn’t noticed the gorgeous granite boulders, definitely one of my weaknesses! I have a hard time passing them by.”
LOCATION: Keoka Lake, Waterford Date: October 3 Time: 6:22 a.m. Equipment: 40mm lens “I left the house before 5 a.m. There was mist rising off the lake, and there’s always a good chance for a good photo when mist is rising off water … When I drove into Waterford, I drove by Keoka Lake. The […]
What does it take to capture the essence of fall foliage in a photograph? For photographer Sara Gray, it’s nine days in October spent searching for the perfect blend of subject, light, and color.
I’m writing this on a sun-splashed (finally!) afternoon, after so many days of cold rain it seemed as if all of New England had collectively willed the heat away after the temperature peaked near 100 only a week ago. It seems that we do have that power sometimes: thousands of people all praying silently (or […]
As I trekked around the sprawling snow free, mud streaked landscape of Vermont’s Mount Snow last Sunday, I asked myself: what would the early New Englanders think of the spectacle in front of them? You know, the pioneering souls who scraped the earth bare of boulders each year, only to find more the next. They […]
