By Dawn’s Early Light
November 13th, 2009
OK…here are two more versions of “my” farmhouse. The one below was shot this morning in the pre-sunrise morning twilight. The one above a bit later just after the sun rose above the Green Mountains.
I guess these photos are another of the many signs that I’m officially old. It seems it’s only old photographers who become fascinated with the changing light on a given scene. I remember that Edward Steichen made a time-lapse movie of a tree outside a window in his house. I think he was in his eighties when he did that. I’m not quite that old, but I’m finding projects like this one increasingly attractive. Maybe I’ll have to start shooting these on large format film. Or not. This was shot with my 18-200 lens at 200mm…so, on my D200 that’s the 35mm equivalent of a 300mm lens. I don’t even know what lens I’d need to match that on a 4×5 view camera. I doubt if I could afford the required lens anyway.
Don’t know if I’ll be posting any more before we return home next week. Depends on what I see up here, I guess. But this is probably it for the farm…or not…have to go and get a shot of it at sunset…
