Opening Post



Hi there, if you're reading this, then I guess you've gotten my e-mail and was curious enough to see what this is all about.

So yes, I've surrendered to the pressure and opened a blog. Not proud of it, but it's way more efficient and presentable then the e-mail alternative.

Anyway, I'll try to post as the opportunity arise, and I guess that in the up and coming (starting wednesday) three weeks trip in New England, I'll have more chances than in the wet coast trip.

To start things off, below are some images from my recent four day trip with my father to the Catskill in Northern NY and to the Delaware Water Gap in the border of NJ and PA (all this was in a week in late August).

And please do leave comment(s) below, on anything, that's part of the point.

Hope you enjoy,

Itai

This image and the next three are from an unmapped creek and falls next to a small town in the center of the Catskills area.








Zoom pulled during exposure.


Don't remember where it was, but it caught our eyes.


A preserved village in the area. What's better, this:



Or this..

And another (and last) from Bushkill Falls.
Not sure why the water is brown, but that was the color.

Itai,

I'm very excited about your new blog and especially to be the first one to comment.

Hey Itay,
i liked you photos. most of it very(!) beautifull, you have really interesting point of view.
but i think you shouldn't use same effects too repeatedly.. Water combined with long-durated shutter or its reflections look nice, but the idea gets "drained" after some time..

Anyway - IMHO.

Good luck - waiting to see more.

The pics are amazing. I was with you in all these places when you took the pics. I did not see what you saw. You captured the underlying beauty, and that is no small feat.
