King Ravine - White Mountains of New Hampshire Human Element, Landscape Photography - Even though I prefer a landscape free of human clutter, including a human element in the scene allows us to connect emotionally with the scene. And if done correctly, scenes that include a human element will pull the viewer into the landscape. The above image from the alpine zone, along the Airline Trail, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire would have little impact and viewing interest ...

Franconia Notch State Park - Lincoln, NH February, New Hampshire - When shooting for the ScenicNH Photography archive I find self assignments and a little direction to be very beneficial. On top of my everyday shooting, I try to focus on one subject every month that is connected to the environment.

This approach has allowed me to build an extensive, marketable and profitable ...

Harvard Brook - Lincoln, New Hampshire USA As I look at these images, I realize just how much I appreciate the simple scenes of the White Mountain National Forest.

Kinsman Notch, Beaver Brook Cascades - The last few days I have been shooting in one of New Hampshire's windiest notches, Kinsman Notch. I'm always amazed at how the wind blows through this notch!

Cannon Mountain - Franconia, NH Top 10 images of 2011 - Hard to believe another year is gone! Where does the time go? I decided on a pretty radical plan for 2011 with much of my focus on the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Halibut Point State Park - Cape Ann, Massachusetts Photos With A Foreground - The foreground is defined as part of a scene that is nearest to the viewer. Most photographers believe a strong foreground completes a scene. I try to include an interesting foreground subject whenever possible. If done properly, the foreground subject will relate to the scene. It does not always work out this way, but it is nice when it does ...
