Thanks Ben - not sure why this scene doesn't get more attention than it does. It can be hard to shoot in the summer when direct sunlight comes so early in the morning.
Thanks Trent - as always the gardeners do all the work and I just wander in to shoot
They are certainly a talented group of gardeners.Thanks Trent - as always the gardeners do all the work and I just wander in to shoot
Thanks Jameel - I’m afraid such a book would be joining a large collection on the bookstore shelf. Every serious photographer in Portland has a stash just as good as mine.
A beautiful still life, a beautiful place full of greenish colors balanced by the foreground of water with a reflection of beautiful green colors - a very engaging place for reflection.
Thanks Peter - the Portland Japanese Garden is a pretty incredible place to visit with a camera. World class design and maintained by some extremely talented gardeners. Almost hard to go wrong shooting in that place.
Thanks Jim - this one had some difficult light I wasn't entirely certain I could tame but in the end it worked out better than I was expecting.
Thanks Bob - it doesn't look like that here yet either. We are behind our usual spring a bit this year.
Thanks for looking Jon - this garden has been a well funded effort to make an outstanding example of a Japanese Garden in the US and they engaged some of the best garden designers in Japan for the task. It shows.
