Highlights - Landscapes

Included here are some of my favourite landscape photographs - pictures from Ashfield and Shelburne Falls in Massachusetts, the Kancamagus Highway and Mount Washington in New Hampshire and finally a sunset over Newport, Rhode Island.

These are pictures I enjoy for a variety of reasons.  The sunset over Newport was one of the first times I felt I caught a sunset well on camera (using a graduated neutral density filter here) and I also liked the shiny, oleaginous quality of the rocks.  The photo of Hermit Lake in front of the headwall of Mount Washington is also another that I'm proud of, although there's some 'cheating' going on in that a warm filter was applied; the colours weren't quite that rich in real life.

Lastly, the photos from Ashfield and Shelburne Falls sum up what was perhaps my favourite part of the trip - wandering around these small towns in western Massachusetts, with their churches and town halls, was almost like taking a step back in time.
