06.13.2020 Fungal Fire

Posted on June 13, 2020 by Steve Gingold

A little abstract fungus something on a warm sunny day in New England. Ganoderma tsugae, along with G. lucidum, are herbal mushrooms used for a variety of applications. I am not an herbalist or a mycologist so that’s all I … Continue reading →

05.18.2020 Cascade Swirl

Posted on May 18, 2020 by Steve Gingold

Most of the wider view compositions in this stretch of the brook I have already done several times leaving more intimate portions to be discovered. I had never noticed this swirl before. I tried an angle from below but found … Continue reading →

04.20.2020 Rivulet

Posted on April 20, 2020 by Steve Gingold

The first composition from my shoot at Dean Brook on Friday. Initially this was to be black and white but I decided the combination of colors worked better. It looks quiet and meditative but you heard what it really sounded … Continue reading →

04.18.2020 Saturday Splash

Posted on April 18, 2020 by Steve Gingold

On the lower right of yesterday’s waterfall, in a gap on the ridge, the water was making quite a splash. It’s a chaotic little cascade and I thought it interesting. Not quite as flashy as the whole cascade but a … Continue reading →

03.30.2020 A Hidden Gem

Posted on March 30, 2020 by Steve Gingold

Another that got overlooked. I only made this one exposure and at first glance I wasn’t impressed. But I decided to follow Michael Scandling‘s lead (if you aren’t following Mike’s posts you are missing some fine work, abstract and otherwise) … Continue reading →

03.27.2020 Dean Brook Crash and Splash 2

Posted on March 27, 2020 by Steve Gingold

This was a bit more challenging deciding where to stand. I had to perch on the edge of a ledge, a ledge edge, between some trees. But there were a few feet of leeway to each side and getting the … Continue reading →

03.25.2020 The Human Form or….?

Posted on March 25, 2020 by Steve Gingold

That’s what I see in these bubbles. But you might see something different and, if you do, feel free to express your vision. One specific thing came to mind, but I’ll see if anyone else has my warped imagination. 🙂

03.24.2020 I think it’s Tuesday

Posted on March 24, 2020 by Steve Gingold

I’ve only been in to work on days when nobody else will be around. Labor distancing, I guess, for almost two weeks. It’s become so I am not sure of the day any more so have to look down in … Continue reading →

03.21.2020-2 Is this it?

Posted on March 21, 2020 by Steve Gingold

Is this the last of this season’s ice images? It could be. Spring has arrived and, although we’ve had some notable nor’easters in April, this year seems headed for warmer weather ahead. So this may be the last as we … Continue reading →
