Isolation
Gil Maker Iceland - July, 2007
I
was walking up the hill shown in the foreground to take a picture of
the
waterfall which is out of the scene to
the right.
You can see the stream that flows away
from the falls in the center of the image.
I looked to my right, saw the lone
person by the stream and this farm house in the distance and took
the shot.
Grist
Mill
I have always been interested is taking images
of old mills, barns and covered bridges.
I passed by this mill, and I just had to
stop and take some images.
This is my favorite one from that shoot.
Nibbling
I stopped to watch this horse for a few
minutes. He never lifted his head to look at me,
but he did make a good subject.
Wonder This is a composite image, made up of five
individual photographs, all scanned from color slides that I've
taken over several years.
There are many Photoshop hours devoted to this picture.
It's perspective distortion has been corrected.
The opening at the far end originally contained a steel fence
looking out on a sunlit street with a big bus in the center.
The kids really were climbing (on the fence) while their
mother watched and this is what originally attracted me.
I cut them out and redistributed them one by one.
The window is from a castle in Southampton, England that had
to be scaled and straightened to fit the opening.
The sky is from Mendon.
The brass ball is from a steam engine in the Smithsonian
Museum. The modified
church image on the ball is from a cathedral in Montreal.
Roman
Spirit The stadium picture is a small Roman arena in
Verona, Italy that I took back in the 1960's. I searched to find a picture of a gladiator to use as a
ghostly image and found one on the web. My idea was to create the feeling of an ancient spirit. 10x15-inch print, 17x22-inch frame $165 ($90 print only)
Screw Meetings Obviously a play on words.
The picture is a double mirrored composite of a digital photo
I took of a coal crusher in RG&E's Russell Generating Station.
In Photoshop, I used a brush stroke filter and added the
sepia tint. The title
came last -- this was one of my many pictures that evolved with no
initial plan. No time
for strategic planning if you hate meetings, right? 11x14-inch print, 16x19-inch frame
Sleepy Hollow Farm The curved
gravel road leading to the picturesque barn first attracted my
attention. The orange lilies provided interest and a splash of
color, while the roadside puddle and the tree canopy completed the
foreground. Soft light was provided by a heavy rain caused by the
fall out of a summer hurricane.
Fog at Monument Cove
Early morning fog produced beautiful soft lighting at Monument Cove
in Acadia NP. I used a slow
shutter speed to slur the motion of the waves as they broke around
the rounded rocks. I chose a
vertical orientation to emphasize the repeating crescent shapes.
Ghost Ships of Wiscasset The mood of
these deteriorating schooners was captured by using a double
exposure in the camera. The
wood grain of the ships was photographed in macro mode and then
combined on the same film frame with a shot of the overall
landscape. The exposures were
made so that the scene would dominate and the wood grain would
lightly wash across the schooners.
Mesa
Arch
Kaleidoscope This image was made by sandwiching two identical
slides (flipping one over the other to create a mirrored image.
The resulting print is a unique symmetrical view of Antelope
Canyon.
Garden
Gate This image was taken during a particularly good
year for tree peonies.
The partially open gate creates an aura of mystery.
