New Original Fine Art Prints by Dan Carmichael – Hatteras Outer Banks & Blue Ridge Parkway

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Dan

I created and released two new original fine art prints. Both art prints were created from my own fine art photography originals.

The first art print is of the Hatteras Lighthouse on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The lighthouse is in the distance, framed by a standing deadwood bush and in the foreground is sand dunes and sea oats. I like this art print because it is a nice, pleasant seascape.

The second new original art print is from the area of Grandfather Mountain on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. The art print is of Thistle Flowers.

Both art prints are new, previously unpublished, and are the work of fine art photographer and artist Dan Carmichael.

Prints are available in various sizes. To order.

New fine art photography prints – Blue Ridge Parkway and Outer Banks North Carolina

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Dan

Two new fine art photography prints have been added to the gallery.

This first is of a man worshiping the setting sun on Hatteras Island Outer Banks North Carolina.

I was shooting a sunset on Hatteras when this man unexpectedly ran up from behind me, then stood atop a sand dune. He extended his arms in a sort of worship fashion, seemed to chant Om a few times, then ran off. I thought the scene was interesting and colorful, so I snapped a shot.

You can see by his headdress he was wearing a sweatshirt with a hoodie. It was an ice cold winter day.

The second image was taken at the Altapass Apple Orchard on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.

The orchard is a very nice place to visit during the Autumn fall colors season on the parkway. In addition to mountain music and other activities, they offer hayrides down a single-lane dirt road that runs along the orchard. And the jams, jellies, and other treats offered at the Altapass Orchard gift store are a wonderfully delicious treat.

Two different versions of this print were created – a traditional photography print style, and one that was stylized to look like it was hand-painted.

New Fine Art Landscape and Seascape Prints Added – Outer Banks & Blue Ridge Parkway

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Dan

I have added some new prints to the New Work Gallery located here: http://picture-north-carolina.smugmug.com/

The first is an old tree stump that was located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina on the Pea Island Wildlife Preserve. The stump was on the beach for quite a long time, and I shot it various times under different conditions.

This one is my favorite. It’s a little unusual, but I like this image because of the abstract qualities and because it almost looks like a spider or some sort of beach monster.

I also created a black & white version of this fine art print:

One of the things I really like about this print unfortunately, cannot be seen at the small sizes posted on the web. I especially like the exquisite detail and texture of the wood. Below is a sample from the image that can be seen on a full-size print:

The new fine art landscape prints also added to the New Work Gallery are of the North Carolina mountains.

These images were taken at Doughton Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway during Autumn. The fall colors on the Blue Ridge Parkway are always beautiful. Doughton Park is one of my favorite places to go, any time of the year.

I created three versions of this image. The first is a traditional fine art photography version. The second was hand-brushed to create a style that looks like a painting. The third version was enhanced to create a surreal style and effect.

New Outer Banks fine art photography print – No Fishing Today (at Oregon Inlet)

Posted on January 9, 2012 by Dan

This fine art photography print was recently added to the image gallery.

The picture is of fishing boats lined up at the Oregon Inlet Marina on Bodie Island, Outer Banks North Carolina.

During the warm weather fishing season, the marina can almost empty early in the morning as boats leave to go to sea. But in the colder seasons, the marina can be found filled with boats waiting to go to sea.

I like this image because it has a clean white look that makes it pleasant to look at and easy on the eyes.

Prints are available in various sizes.
