On last week’s trip to Maine I experienced the full range of challenging winter photo situations. With that experience in mind, I thought I’d write about the various types of light you might encounter on a winter day, and what looks best in each lighting situation.

In the spirit of tactful, supportive feedback, let me offer some constructive suggestions for entering photo […]

The Belted Cow Bistro’s chef/owner, John Delpha, earned his culinary stripes in some of Boston’s best kitchens. These days he has full reign over the local ingredients in his own kitchen, while partner Caitlin Bilodeau runs the dining room–an excellent combination of beautiful food and relaxed yet top-notch service. Seating options include a cozy alcove […]

Winter Photography Tips

If the top half is white, the camera will make the bottom half very dark to compensate for the brightness. The result is a picture with an uninteresting white […]
