2021 “Painterly Blue Ridge Mountains. North Carolina” Modern Photography, Premium archival fine art paper by Marty Hulsebos Photography

While on an extended photo trek in the Blue Ridge Mountains, I got up early one morning to drive along the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. I found an opening in the forest that revealed this grand view of mist rising between the numerous ridges. The colorful sunrise backlit the mist, giving it a warm tint. This opportunity didn’t last. I drove by this spot an hour later, and the mist was gone, and so was the visible separation between ridges. I was fortunate to be there at the right time.

Marty Hulsebos and his Artwork

The artist has a fascination with how different varieties of light can transform a landscape, this is at the heart of his art. Also, no two moments are the same. Each moment is fleeting, never to be experienced the same way again. Being awake to opportunities, and being ready to take advantage of them, is his core activity as a landscape photographer. photographs
