<\/p>\n

I have posted quite a few shots over the past two and a half years from Emmon\u2019s Preserve, a little Kennebunkport Land Trust property on the Batson River. The Batson, despite its name, is actually something between a brook and a river. In August it might only be a trickle between moss covered stones, but other times its pools are full and its falls and rapids are wild, it is never, however, what I would call a river, even at its fullest. <\/p>\n

This, in particular, is a shot I have taken often\u2026I like the sculpted wood of the fallen tree\u2026but I particularly like the quality of the light in this one. The Nikon\u2019s Active D-Lighting renders scenes like this in a strikingly natural way, and the 22.5mm equivalent lens opens the view wonderfully. I love the depth. This is an image that draws me in. I could look at it for a long time.<\/p>\n
