"For me, A Line of Water begins to show the immense scale of the Sierra Nevada. We usually
measure scale against large monuments or buildings, but in the mountains our perception
changes. I made this image with a long telephoto lens, looking across a valley several miles wide.
The thin line of water marks the lowest point, and the mountain rises several frames above what
you see here. Working at focal lengths approaching 900mm, I raise the ISO to between 800 and
1600 and brace the camera against a trail sign as a post to minimize lens shake." ~ Gavin McChesney
Gavin McChesney is drawn to the severity of line, contrast, and structure. Photojournalism taught him to look for relationships and moments, rather than simply beautiful subjects. That instinct still shapes the way he photographs the natural world.
Note, framing options coming soon! Pending availability, there may be a 1-2 week delay to complete custom framing or custom printing of unframed photographs.
