Watch What Happens When We Bring Art to Swamp Photography

Join me in my new "Overnight Outdoor Photography Series". In this video, Part 2, we're exploring creativity in swamp photography at Hopeville Pond State Park.
Swamp photography can be a challenge, but I'm determined to find beauty in all its chaos, new growth, old growth, life & death, mud, and muck. We'll explore the different elements that make swamp photography interesting & imaginative. From disorderly flora to unique textures, and how to go deeper with storytelling through your photography.
I'll take you on the Nehantic Trailhead and show you some of the beautiful art that can be found in swamp photography. If you love photography, be sure to check out this video!

    What a trooper getting out with that forecast. I'm looking forward to more of the week-end travel series and wish you better weather in the future, but you still seemed to enjoy it and made yourself productive with the outside office. Many a swamp I've hiked by and not taken a shot due to the chaos, your maternal tree was worth stopping for.

    Thanks Sam, I admit, I was pushing myself and began to think I wouldn't find anything to shoot. It certainly helped me to move forward and overcome the woes of LS Photography.

    Convince ourselves to go out and there’s something to be had. 😂 so relatable. Awesome vlog Mark! That woodland looked real chaotic, but I think you did incredibly well here. Your camp looked really cozy 😁

    Lol, right... so true. I was hunting Keith and coming up short. Making consistent videos is by no means, easy work, but I don't have to tell you that.

    Nice job Mark, despite the weather, you got some nice shots. Nothing better than sitting around a fire, I’m sure most won’t agree with me but I do enjoy a nice rain. Looking forwards to your next adventure.

    Ah yes, there's nothing like gentle rain on a spring/summer evening.

    I photographed a lot in Hopeville and have never hike that section of the trail you were at. Now I have to add it the next time I am there. Love the weekend trip series too, Mark! 👍😃👍

    Really enjoyed watching this video. I was surprised there wasn’t any sign of any animals. But , it was a very nice , you captured what you wanted. You’re a true photographer, even when Mother Nature doesn’t want to be cooperating! ❤

    I understand what you were going through. Unless I'm shooting locally I pretty much get what I get weather wise so I've learned to make the most of it. Pretty awesome that you have the camper now to stay on site in locations. A lot easier to really explore an area I'm sure. Looking forward to your summer adventures. Who knows maybe one morning I'll be the one you cross paths with. LOL

    Yeap, weather is the giver and taker of landscape photography. The camper has been working out fabulous, especially for exploring deeper and staying on location longer. I just got back from a trip to Acadia and spent 5 nights in Blackwoods Campground on Mount Desert Island. What a delight and awesome experience - videos to come...
