Landscape Images

Different landscapes present excellent opportunities for creating special images. With each turn in the road, new opportunities exists (an abandoned vehicle, a crashing wave, a broken fence, a frigid winter scene, a colourful fallscape, etc.). As a photographer, one recognizes those opportunities. I use my skills to combine the use of light, shadows, textures and the environment to create very dramatic black and white images.

I would like to draw your attention to the picture 'Road to the Sky' (first thumbnail); I am often asked, 'what I did to create this picture'. This was the view that was presented to me. When I shot the picture, it was a bright sunny afternoon and I used a red filter to bring out the clouds in the sky. In the darkroom, I used dodging and burning techniques to bring out the different shades of the landscape and the texture of the road.
