SUNRISE MT. WASHINGTON AND THE PRESIDENTIAL RANGE

nancy — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:12:31 +0000

After a warm December Mt. Washington and The Presidential Range are now white with snow. Lets hope for some good Alpine Glows at sunrise like this image from years ago. It is easier shooting sunrises in December or January because the sunrise is after 7AM, than later in the winter when the sunrise is closer to 6AM. In December and January the sun is lower in the sky.This enables the sun’s rays to light up the mountains with more dramatic light than later in the winter when the sun is higher in the sky.

I have been shooting Black and White recently. The high elevation and up slope snow showers at the base of Mt. Washington on the Bretton Woods side is usually a good spot for winter photographs, when the rest of NH. is in a snow drought.

Mt. Lafayette From Cannon Mtn. Ski Area Order Item Number BW-12

nancy — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 15:12:01 +0000

This shot of Mt. Lafayette and The Franconia Range was taken from the top of Cannon Mountain Ski Area in New Hampshire’s Franconia Notch State Park. I love working with snow covered trees because it helps keep the foreground clean. Cannon Mountain ski area is famous for many days of snow covered trees because it’s summit is over 4,000 feet tall. This elevation and it’s location keeps moisture on the summit causing rime frost to form on the trees.

This Black and White photograph of Jackson Falls on the Wildcat River in Jackson, NH. was taken one December morning after an early snow storm. The Wildcat River had not frozen over yet, thus I was able to enjoy several hours of photographing many different compositions of Jackson Falls from one area. This was one of my last compositions that morning.

When photographing this Black and White photograph of Jackson Falls and the Wildcat River I used a wide angle lens. The lens allowed me to put the ice crystals and snow next to the river in the foreground. I used a long exposure and was very aware that one wrong step meant that I was going to get wet.

This Black and White photo of the Mount Washington Hotel and Mt. Washington and the Presidential Range in Bretton Woods, NH. toke several hours to get. When I arrived at my location the clouds from the previous storm had yet to clear The Presidential Range. Past experience told me that waiting should give me the photo I wanted. I waited and eventually the clouds started to clear the summit of Mt. Washington giving me many different scenes as they lifted. The wind was also pushing them from left to right and I would shot when they gave me a composition I wanted.
