First off I can’t believe I have never shared this photo on this blog. This is an amazing piece of property up in Vermont. It has an incredible view and the land itself has just beautiful rolling form. Unfortunately I made this photograph while driving around purposely lost back in 2011 […]

Magical setting

Yeah, well I guess it was pretty frickin’ spectacular. Awesome View up in Wilmington VT. There was a house nearby where I made this photo. I have to think to myself, that if I lived there I would never miss a sunrise. Honestly, I don’t think the photo even […]

Just Another Sunrise

14 May, 2015 in Vermont tagged sunrise / vermont / wilmington by Rob Nitsch

Another one of the photos I made while driving around Vermont before sunrise. By the way, probably one of my favorite things to do. This time I have no idea where I was and I have no cell phone photos with a geo-tag. Maybe that makes it a little more […]

Morning Mist

Sometimes everything just falls into place. I guess that is the dream of landscape photography. The dream that a photographer has refined his/her skills so that when the perfect light falls across the perfect location said photographer will be able to make magic that seems effortless to the viewer. 42°56’10” […]

Yeah, I know, spring has just sprung and we still have to endure the summer months but I am ready for autumn to hurry up and get here. This bridge is in Williamsville Vermont, actually I believe it is called the Williamsville Bridge. Funny thing is, I forgot where I […]

Stacked Wood — This is a photo of the wood stack at the Applewood Manor in Castleton Vermont. You can imagine how warm and cozy this bed and breakfast is by the size of its impressive wood pile. We stayed there for two nights in mid October while I was in town […]

An epic sunrise in Wilmington Vermont on Labor Day weekend. The sun was to my back for this photo which resulted in beautiful lighting on these clouds. I guarantee this photo is headed to one of my walls. The black and white conversion was developed with one of my custom presets […]

Wilmington Vermont

This river runs along the Somerset Road heading out to the Somerset Reservoir in southern Vermont. I am pretty sure it is not a class 4 road but it is unpaved and most likely not maintained in the off season. This photo was make from a new metal […]

Patriotic colors from deep within the boarders of northern Vermont. This was taken on a beautiful autumn day back in October. It is very hard for me to resist the pop of white clapboard against a deep blue sky, throw in a bright red door and I am going […]

Red, White and Blue

Here is an image I made while wondering around the hills above Montpelier. I love when I come upon buildings like this. These structures still have a lot of utilitarian life left in them but, you would be hard pressed to find a right angle in there current construction […]

I had a great time shooting this picture. It was one of those locations that I just stumbled upon and I stumbled upon it in the early hours of the morning. It was darker then dark out when I rounded a bend and was completely surprised to see this […]

Light Painting

I stumbled upon this beautiful scene on the backroads of Vermont as I was coming home from an early morning shoot. I am not sure if I was more impressed with the scene or the property owners preparedness for the upcoming cold weather. Needless to say, I could not help […]

Yellow Scraper

My favorite way to photograph landscapes is to get in my car and get lost. That is exactly how I captured this iconic Vermont scene of a barn and snow plow patiently awaiting the change of season. I was lost in the hills above Montpelier Vermont as the morning autumn […]

Lost

I thought I would throw my hat into the HDR ring. I prefer my HDR’s to lean towards the more realistic side. This is a tree I shot on our trip up to Vermont. three, one stop brackets. It was on the Jenne Farm property. I thought it really captures […]

Jenne Farm

This is one of those iconic New England scenes of rural decay. A shack slowly decomposing into the green mountain landscape, contrasted with dark gloomy skies and white birch trees. Thankfully Vermont is peppered with these deteriorating structures, they are one of the regions great photographic resources.

This may be an east coast cliché. They say Jenne Farm is the most photographed farm in the US. You may recognize it from a Budweiser commercial, Forest Gump or even the great Chevy Chase comedy Funny Farm. The farm has become a mecca for photographer, especially in the early […]

©Rob Nitsch – click to enlarge! One of my favorite speedlite techniques, especially this time of year, is to underexpose my ambient light and overexpose my flash. It can put a little extra spookiness / moodiness into your photos. It will also add texture to an other wise bland grey […]
