Balance Original photograph taken near the headwaters of the Metolius River in Oregon. I used a 2 1/4 ” negative medium-format camera. The slow shutter speed allowed the water to appear soft. This log was balanced perfectly on the rock in the river, no manipulation was used. Copyright Karen Rainsong 5″ x 5″ prints available. Contact: karen@rainsongdesign.net

Canyon Dancer This image was taken in Alta Dena, CA, with a large format (4×5 inch) negative camera. The woman is my best friend from college, and we photographed each other that day in the canyon for a school assignment “figure in a landscape”. The dry creekbed, rocks, and plants all give superb texture for this gentle image of a dancer. 4″ x 5″ negative. Prints available, contact the artist: karen@rainsongdesign.net
