Gracie Grazing In The Mist
ISO 100 1/200 f 5 50mm
Gracie is my neighbor’s horse and I saw her one foggy morning as she was having her breakfast. As the mist began to clear I got this shot of her just across the road from my house. This pastoral scene that I get to enjoy every day from my front deck has always given me a great sense of tranquility and gratitude for being able to live in the beauty of rural surroundings.
In this monochrome treatment I am reaching for the kind of sentiment that the Pictorialists of the early decades of the last century achieved. I have always admired their groundbreaking work and I hope that this image does justice to their style.
