I make a point of following many photographers, but you, Benjamin, are my absolute FAVorite! (shhh) I was lucky enough to be in many of theses places, early October, so you captured some of my memories, thank you. Outstanding photos!!
That's so awesome that we were there close to the same time. It's a place full of new and old memories for me, too, which I think helps the photography. Thank you so much for the kind words.
All incredible photos, but I wanted to ask you about Monumental. You caught an amazing amount of shadow detail along with the sun star. Is this an exposure blend? I struggle to get a good sun star without very dark surrounding shadows!
That's heavily edited to bring out shadow detail. Lots of pushing up shadows and blacks and pulling down the highlights in the sky. I photograph with the Sony Alpha series cameras, and the amount of leeway I have with editing for dynamic range is mind-boggling. I was thinking it might be a little unnatural in that edit, but I do love the details that are there in the shadows. Thanks for the question.

Thank you for the reply! The results are stunning and now I can't wait to go out and try again!
Fabulous imagery!
Thank you, Charlie
Your photography is outstanding and your small scene work is just exceptional! Inspiring stuff ❤️
I appreciate the kind words, especially in about small scenes. I know it's not for everyone, but I really enjoy photographing them.
Thank you for a little cairn history.
You're welcome! I was excited to learn more about them, myself, in researching for this newsletter. They are so evocative of Acadia to me.
Your outstanding images are well matched by your thoughtful, descriptive writing style.
I really appreciate that, Fred. Thank you.
Beautiful pictures.
Thank you, Robert.
You need to visit, for sure. Where do photograph most in the fall season?
Caddo has become a massive destination for fall foliage. If you haven't been, sounds like you are close enough to really take advantage.
