Maple Sugaring Time

I have photographed maple sugaring season many times and I am always challenged to find and new way to capture an image of making syrup from sap every year.

North Berwick Maine at the Chase farm is where I took my first photos. Steam coming from the vent in the roof snd ice on the trees made for a new and slightly different photo. The one thing that really stood out from a picture prospective was all light from all the windows in the sugar house that made photographing indoors a breeze.

Giles Farm in Alfred Maine was the next stop. Natasha and I had been here the year before and was not sure what kind of image I could make. I ended up with a few shots outside and inside the sugar house and basically did a standard shot of syrup being drawn off the evaporator. Nothing new but a record of what was going on that day, month and year.

We walked about a half mile to our next sugarhouse. The sun was warm and the ice storm the day before made for many nice photos before we arrived there. (Future blog post?)

Look-up at the ceiling of the sugarhouse at the 207 Tappers in Biddeford Maine, I saw the contrasts of the ceiling steam and light and captured some images. The walk back to the car was equally inspiring to take photos.

A couple of photos at our last stop at Harris Farm in Dayton, of people enjoying Maple weekend in Maine and I was good for the day and another year of a spring tradition in New England.
