Here’s another photo from the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge where I served as the Artist-in-Residence this Fall. This photo was taken in the early morning before the ground fog had burned off, and that’s what is creating the large burst of color. If you look closely you can see the fringes of the fog at the top where the yellow and red gives way to the blue sky.
Like many of my photos, this one is dominated by strong, contrasting colors. I like black and white photos, but I find that I really enjoy working with colors. In fact, most of my landscape photos are as much about the color as they are the subject. My goal is for the viewer to first be captured by the colors, and then be enticed to look more closely to investigate the subject.
