Connecticut River, Orford, NH
Early morning fog lifting from the water surface of the Connecticut River in the early fall season. Bright green Lily pads in the foreground establish a perspective for the distant river horizon and the clearing sky.

On a gray day on the Amanoosic River in New Hampshire near Littleton, I was attracted to views along the river, framed by tree forms with strong branching patterns. Distant fog, dark skies and muted colors on the riverbank were difficult to capture in a single exposure in the low light. I was able to articulate the gray tones and subtle late season color by making several exposures and combining them as a high dynamic range photograph.
