I’ve used Revolog’s boutique textured film in the past. It’s a fun film to work with, as you can combine your photography skills with a little chance and a little luck – to get incredible images. Revolog pre-treats their film with everything from little spots to electrical fractals to textures, and those get transferred onto…

Foliage By Moonlight
So last Wednesday, I hoped to capture that elusive Comet A3 that flew by our planet. And if I didn’t get it that night, my next opportunity would take place in the year 82,024. Not sure I’ll make that rain date. I drove out to the Corinth Reservoir – one of the few “dark sky”…

I’ve tried photo-capturing the Middle Covered Bridge in Woodstock, Vermont for a couple of years now. And I’ve had varying degrees of success. Mostly mid-line success. A couple of years ago, I tried capturing the bridge as part of a multi-bridge photo experience that was marred when I traveled down to a ravine for a…
Read MoreAn Infrared Return to Aerochrome Falls
Many years ago, I used vintage color infrared slide film (branded “Aerochrome”) for some photos in the Adirondacks. One of the best shots I pulled from that excursion was a shot of a waterfall near the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Hudson, a photo I christened Aerochrome Falls. Man. I pulled that shot NINE YEARS…
Read MoreAutumn in Northfield
Several years ago, my girlfriend and I went on a road trip to Vermont and visited several different covered bridges in the Northfield area. We visited them in July, so although the bridges were absolutely breathtaking, they were summertime visits, rather than autumn visits – when the Vermont fall foliage beckons for visits. I wanted…
Read MoreCAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!?!?
Yesterday, I took the cameras up to Essex County in the Adirondacks for a little photo shoot. Nothing completely out of the ordinary, I just wanted to see if I could get some foliage shots and some other natural phenomena. And lo and behold … the Adirondacks were open. Well, at least as open as…
Read MorePro tip – Infrared photography does not work on doggos.
Yesterday, I took a walk around the Town and Village. It’s another test of my infrared-modified Nikon Df camera, and I figured I’d try to get a few more choice shots in that might be worth submitting for that Kolari Vision infrared competition. And as I turned the corner – looking for various trees and…
Read MorePlanning a foliage run
I live near three amazing foliage “destinations,” if you will. To my north are the Adirondacks, to my east are the Berkshires, and if I go northeast, there’s the Green Mountains. And I’ve had reasonable success in capturing breathtaking fall foliage in all three locales. This year, I want to capture some breathtaking fall foliage…
Read MoreMy entries for the 2024 Kolari Vision infrared photo competition
Every two years, Kolari Vision – the good people who converted one of my Nikon Df cameras into an infrared-dedicated shooter – offers an infrared photography contest, where winners receive Kolari Vision gift cards and plenty of publicity. And since the contest is open to all types of infrared photography, not just products promoted or…
Read MoreThe Big E double-dip trip, 2024
Saturday morning. I’ve gotten this trip down to a science. Load the car up in the morning, fill the tank, then get on the highway at about, oh, say, 6:00 a.m. That gets me to Springfield, Massachusetts by about 8:00 a.m., and completely beats the glut of traffic into the Eastern States Exposition’s “Big E”…
