A Common Sight

I'm a bit of a night owl and I often get to bed later than my wife. I don't think the dogs mind a bit.
Um Tigran, you're gonna have to move.

The Cohos Trail Unsupported FKT - A Fast-packing Adventure in the Northern Forest

Image
Note: The photos are in chronological order. They are mostly landscape photos of the journey as I reverted back to the type of photography I most enjoy. I’ll shortly have a video together which delves a bit deeper into the personal aspects of the trip. All were shot with the incredible Sony RX100 vii camera. Also, you can view the photos separately in a larger slideshow/filmstrip by clicking on a photo and scrolling forward. So, I’ve become very good at failing. Over the past four years I have attempted to break the Long Trail Unsupported FKT (Fastest Known Time) three times. I DNF’d twice and finished once in 8.5 days, much slower than the record pace. This year in particular, I really felt that I was dialed in but for various reasons, my attempt in late June was over almost before it started due to sleep issues. I had also originally scheduled to crew my buddy at Tor des Geants, a massive 210 mile race through the Italian alps in early September, but due to changes in pla...

True's Ledges in West Lebanon

Image
It's nice to discover a cool waterfall, or series of small cascades and nice swim holes, only a half mile out of the way on the trip back home from work. A locals' favorite, I haven't been here since I was a student, a long long time ago. Playing with an ultrawide lens has been a liberating experience. I'm just glad I didn't liberate my camera down the falls. By using a three stop neutral density filter, I was able to keep my aperture at f/11, maintaining a massive depth of field but eliminating the effect of diffraction when using even smaller apertures. A benefit of low water flow is the ability to get shots that would otherwise be too dangerous. The parking is just off True's Brook Road, 0.8 miles from the junction with NH route 12A just south of the "strip." Water is pretty low right now, but it's still very beautiful and the pools are warm and deep enough for a solid dip in just the right spot. Low water also allows me to explore the r...

Shooting Dartmouth Football...sort of!

Image
Well, you've got to give it to these guys. The freshmen often rush the field at halftime and these two didn't disappoint. Hey parents, do you know what your kid did this past weekend?! Well, believe it or not, last Saturday I shot my very first football game. It was Dartmouth College's homecoming game which we unfortunately lost 31-14. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable experience and I plan on going back and shooting the final game of the season pretty soon. After catching a 20 yard pass, wide receiver Ryan McManus '15 breaks a tackle for a 64 yard touchdown. Unfortunately Dartmouth lost the homecoming game to Harvard, 31-14. I realize that you have to either shoot the QB, or see where his eyes are looking and try to shoot the receiver. It's really tough to do both. Plus, without being elevated, it's often difficult to see the ball. Not only is the ball blocked by men on the field, it's blocked by very BIG men on the field! Check out a few mor...
