Karl and Kathleen Nichter Photography



This blog began in 2009, about a year after we started our photography business. People attending our photo exhibits, or our hikes and workshops, asked for details on where we traveled for photography. As naturalists we usually kept a field journal, so we used that as a basis for Field Notes.
In Summer, 2014 we took a break from the blog because our business, and lives were changing. In January 2015 the blog restarted with an expanded theme. It now contains photography, notes, and articles from all of our travels and all of our photography, not just nature themed. The posts prior to 2014 have been archived.

Thank you for visiting.

Photo Techniques: Using Morning Light (again)

On many occasions I photographed the museum at Stephen Foster Cultural State Park, trying different angles and different lights. I looked at the work other photographers published of the same building, and in general, we all put our vision on it but the photographs tended toward the same.

Recently, while camping at the park and taking an early morning walk, we passed by the building just as the morning sun lit part of it, and my angle of view was partial. A little mist still hung in the air.

Exposure tended toward the dark side for the trees, but the focus is the house so I didn't mind. This time I really felt like I made the photography, rather than just took a photograph.
