奧克弗諾基國家野生動物保護區，喬治亞州
這些巨大的柏樹是奧克弗諾基國家野生動物保護區的偉大象徵之一，也是該公園每年吸引超過40萬名遊客的原因之一。我想要在前景中捕捉幾株真正出色的標本，同時擁有極佳的景深。午後柔和的光線完美地凸顯了灌木叢的鮮豔色彩，同時仍能清晰呈現背景中的沼澤水域，不會過於強烈而產生刺眼的光影對比。我也喜歡樹幹上的苔蘚帶來的明亮綠色調，使得這張照片點綴著恰到好處的色彩平衡。能夠獨自置身於此，與這些壯麗的樹木相伴，我感到十分榮幸。它們擁有強大的力量和非凡的美感，宛如沼澤的守護者。當我拍攝這張長時間曝光的照片時，我知道自己捕捉到了特別的畫面，並再次驚嘆於這個廣闊國家中令人難以置信的多樣地貌，我們何其有幸能盡情享受。
The mist hanging between those ancient cypress trunks feels so real I almost expect to hear the alligators. Captured the Okefenokee’s swampy mood perfectly, and it’s sharp enough to make out every moss strand on the bark.
The cypress trees in this shot have this haunting, prehistoric vibe that makes the swamp feel alive. I've stared at it for a good ten minutes and keep noticing new shadows in the water. Exactly the mood I wanted for my office wall.
The scale of those giant cypress trees in this print really comes through—it feels like you're standing at the water's edge in the refuge. My office wall has a nice calm spot now, and the detail in the moss hanging off the branches is what sold me.
