43rd Annual NHAA Parfitt Juried Photography Exhibit

Low Tide Mooring

One of my photographs, “Low Tide Mooring”, was selected for the NHAA 43rd Jack Parfitt Open juried Photography Exhibition, “New Work”, and will be on display at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in Portsmouth, NH from August 3rd to August 28th. The opening reception takes place on Friday, August 5th, 5-8pm. The juror for this exhibit was Stephen DiRadio, professor in the studio Art Program at Clark University.

The image was taken at Alma, New Brunswick. Located along the northern shore of the Bay of Fundy, the area experiences some of the highest tidal fluctuations in the world.

An Iphone with an anamorphic lense attachment was used to take the picture. Anamorphic lenses compress or squeeze a wider field of view on a standard sized film or digital sensor. The image is then de-squeezed or elongated when projected or in post-production. This allows a long landscape view to be obtained on a rectangular film or digital sensor without cropping. These lenses, which are commonly used in the film industry today, produce images with a unique look and are of a higher quality as no area of the film (or pixels on a digital sensor) are lost in cropping.
