Following last year’s Photo Friday series of lectures, John and I decided to create E-books to share that information with a wider audience, and to give a reference to those who did join us for the talks. The first of those E-books, on photographing Intimate Landscapes, is now available on the Apple iBooks Store. Please check it out!
Intimate Landscapes by Cameron Held & John Orcutt

On the way to and from Mane Huts & Trails’ Flagstaff Hut, I have passed by this bog frequently. On a bright November day the bright tree trunks and their reflections in the dark water, surrounded by amber-tinted grass layers was a photo opportunity I couldn’t pass up. I stopped to capture this image just before a breeze came up and dissolved the essential reflections. A great scene can become mundane in an instant when a slight change occurs.
