The last photo shoot of 2012 was on Cargill Pond in Liberty, Maine. With a fresh snowfall, I knew the time was ripe to capture this house. For this shot I went with the Canon 17mm Tilt Shift lens. I wanted to convey the warmth of the interior and so I needed the contrast of the snow in the foreground. I also wanted to have the overhanging windblown branch in the frame, as well as the top of the tall, aged tree towering over the gable end of the home. The tilt shift lens allowed me to meet all of the compositional demands and to capture the image I had had in my mind since I visited the camp over a year ago. This shot was taken on December 30, 2012, and for me this was a great way to end a fabulous year. Looking forward to 2013!
