plein air photos / by Philip Tarlow

6:08 PM: after locating the photos i spoke about and posted yesterday; all potential candidates for the poster. today i searched successfully for plein air painting photos. here’s some of what i found in my cloud files. they’re all shot during the fall months; most likely october, which, in terms of weather, is the ideal time for plein air painting. you can see that i’m dressed warmly for the invigorating fall temperatures in the upper ‘40’s/low ‘50’s.

so how, you might ask, did i shoot these photos since i was by myself? by setting my shutter to a 20 second delay and propping it up on a tree branch. after a few tries, i got the shots i wanted.
