Color, Lighting, Composition and Depth of Field…
Sometimes it’s as much about the depth of field, lighting and color, for me, as it is the entire composition or subject. I like this shallow depth of field combined with the lighting which allowed me to achieve some pretty interesting bokeh! This was from a craft fair in Ellsworth, Maine last year and this was the Lucky Dog Gallery display.
One of my favorite Maine sunrise shots…
Imagine being out on the water and seeing this?
Got Bokeh?!
This is the Rosa Rugosa bush (flowers not present in this photo) and the red bud you see are rose hips. Bokeh is a photographic term for the desired quality of the blurred section of a photograph (the highlighted out of focus circles)
Flower Photography – it’s all in the lighting and depth of field…
Here are four completely different examples of various lighting and depth of field that I just love to play with!
I miss my sunrise shots…
I LOVE being in Portland right now but I do so miss waking up and grabbing my camera to capture the amazing sunrises in Southwest Harbor! These are from my archives…

LOOK at that face! This was taken at a small B&B/Farm in Maine
This was taken at a small B&B/Farm in Maine. The lighting in the barn was just perfect to capture this little one! Only a face a mother could love?
Random Photo Thursday…
I just like the detail in this ceiling fixture – the base is actually sterling silver!
Black and White Photography…
this shot takes me back to my college days when I used to develop and print my own photography!
Ahhh, soon…
I say this after an unusual 3 feet of snow on the Maine coast! This photo was taken on Third West Branch Pond north of Greenville.
