Autumn Painting with Light ... in the Woods!

One of my very favorite things to do in autumn is play with daytime long exposure photography, using the foliage to, quite literally, paint an exposure with their palette.

Here are a few of my favorites from a recent road trip to Telluride (for an architectural photography gig which I also can't wait to share).  Enjoy!

Telluride AIDS Benefit Photo | OSCARS Poster

Hmmm... So this was just brought to my attention.

On the right, my photo, designed and photographed for the Telluride AIDS Benefit Art Auction in 2010. On the left, this year's just released OSCARS poster, designed by Olly Moss.

Copyright law is tricky, but it is sort of uncanny, don't you think? I sure wouldn't mind some tickets to the Oscars...

Architectural Photography | Telluride CO

I'll admit it, my heart was racing for most of this shoot: this recently completed One Architects house in Mountain Village, Colorado was filled with SO many incredible spaces, details, textures and juxtapositions I was constantly being seduced by new moments to appreciate.  Another stunning example of no-stone-unturned design philosophy in action.  Kudos to the incredibly talented team who brought this project to such beautiful completion!

Intimate Telluride Wedding

Simple, lovely details and a backdrop of magical fall color and light made this lovely, intimate wedding in Telluride, Colorado a joy to photograph.  I love my job!!

On a recent, whirlwind trip through Telluride, I found a few moments between photographing weddings to capture some moments of the gorgeous autumn up there.  I feel so lucky to have lived in such a spectacular place!

Enjoy!

 

 

Painting with Light

Warning: These photographs aren't for everyone.
But if you're among the curious... I'd like to share!  There's something I find enormously compelling and peaceful about leaving the exposure open just long enough to "paint" the sensor with a swath of light dotted foliage.  Resulting streaks of color appear painterly, but are completely the result of photographic processes.  I'm going to include a few sets here from my favorite experiments with this method.  Enjoy!
