    Love this shot Richard,
    Great contrast and has a nice cool feeling about it.

  • Richard VanWart replied

    Thanks, mate. This actually has a “story” to it—it was the first “official”, i.e., serious effort, with a new little “pocket” camera that was my intro to digital, the Panasonic Lumix DMC LX2, with this great little Leica lens, and very cool 16:9 aspect ratio wide-screen format, etc. Terrifically handy and user-friendly, this was just the kind of situation I wanted to have a “pocket camera” for: a great scene snaps into view at 70mph on the highway, swoop into the breakdown lane, back up, hope the State Police don’t come by, look, frame, click, instant feedback on the LCD … very cool!
    The image quality often rivals the Nikon D300 that I got at the end of that year, as I completed my commitment to this new digital world, so I’ve been really pleased with the whole experience …
    Thanks for your attention. Cheers!

    a fairytale born
    dimensional magic
    eeire moments
    suspended crystals
    virgin light dancing
    on virgin whiteness
    the old wise river says….
    flow with me…. flow with my silence
    through this wonderland
    of spatial silence
    crispy coldness
    that envelopes me
    and my time

    Where in New England is this? I love it!! It’s amazing!

  • Richard VanWart replied

    Hi Nicole - The locale isn’t particularly exciting. I was on my way to Manchester (New Hampshire) Airport, and this was along the
    highway, Rte. 101 West, as I was nearing the exit for the airport, so I guess it was in a kind of still-rural area as I was entering the region of the city of Manchester. Pretty flat and homely, but it just “shows ta go ya” -     there’s magic everywhere! And isn’t that what photography is usually about?! ;) One of the early comment/replies in this thread has more info, if you like …
