New Friend

We were out for an evening stroll along the bluff tonight and met this little fellow. He seemed quite taken with Dirck.

This was taken the evening after the super full moon around 8:30.

New Projects

I have updated the projects page on our website. You can see the new page here – Projects.

This new page includes Blizzard on Low Beach, which was featured on our blog before, and two new projects that I have posted some work from but hadn’t completed until recently. Each of these new projects contain 16 photographs, and all projects are offered as folios or prints.

The new projects are -

How Clouds Are Made which was taken on a magical April day last year on Low Beach in Nantucket

And Squam Swamp taken last November.

I am working on updating our website. I’ll let you know when there is some new work up.

Surfside

This past week, Dirck and I went to Surfside. There was a great deal of sand blowing as wind gusts were up around 50 mph. It was one of those days when I had to hold my tripod down with both hands as I took a shot.

Dirck was  shooting further up the beach and said that my feet were often hidden by the shifting sand. It’s that sand that obscures the middle of this scene.

Changing Winter Light

These were all taken tonight by Dirck within a half hour’s time on Smith’s Point.

Winter on Smith’s Point

I’m going to go to the different beaches here on Nantucket over the next couple of weeks to see how they are faring this winter. I started with a trip out to Smith’s Point. It was very windy and very cold out there today but the sky was a bright blue and the sand was free of footprints and tire tracks. The erosion fence seems to be doing it’s job, collecting sand into mini-dunes.

Shutterbug Magazine

Van Lieu Photography has been reviewed by Shutterbug Magazine in their upcoming March issue. Here’s a peek at what was said about us!

Landscape Photography Blogger

Van Lieu Photography has been featured in today’s Landscape Photography Blogger post. This is one of my favorite blogs – it features the work of Philip Hyde, a photographer whose work was important in 20th century environmental efforts and in the development of modern landscape photography. The blog discusses Mr. Hyde’s travels and often includes entries from his and his wife’s writings. There are also many discussions about current environmental efforts, landscape photography and art in general.

If you love landscape photography – you’ll find this blog interesting and educational.
