The King is Knocking - Fine Art Nature & Landscape Photography and Inspirational Prophetic Images by Josiah Christian Friberg

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me." - Jesus

There's something very inviting about a red door contrasted with white snow. This prophetic image reminds me of Jesus' words about standing at the door of my heart, knocking, and asking if He may come in. All I can say is: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Come in Lord Jesus and let's fellowship together. My heart is always open to You. My home is Your home. Let's sit down together, eat a good meal together, and share some precious and intimate time together." This photograph was taken in Boone, North Carolina.

JOYFUL CHRISTMAS - Fine Art Inspirational Nature & Landscape Photography by Josiah Friberg

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO YOU TODAY
ON THIS SPECIAL HOLIDAY
WHEN WE REMEMBER
THE BIRTH OF
THE LORD JESES,
THE MESSIAH AND SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

I took this "fogscape" up on the top of the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, about 15 minutes from Blowing Rock and Boone. It was such a beautiful foggy morning that I just had to grab my camera, get out, walk around, and start shooting in the fog. It was freezing cold, but it was worth it to get so many fog shots.

Mystical Mountain Friend - Fine Art Inspirational Nature & Landscape Photography by Josiah Friberg

"The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice....Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne....For Thou art the LORD Most High over all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods." - Psalm 97:1,2,9

I recently decided that I need to "master" photographing things in FOG. Let me tell you, shooting in fog is not very easy. The diffused light coming through fog is often much brighter than one realizes. In fact, the light meter in most cameras gets fooled by the fog and tends to adjust in such a way as to make the final exposure much too dark and underexposed. I'm now learning to use the "E.V. Compensation" setting on my camera to open up the exposure to let in more light. Generally, so far, I've found that adjusting one f-stop or 1.3 or 1.6 is about right. I do also use my histogram after the fact to check on the exposure and see if I got it right.

This "fogscape" was taken up on the top of the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, about 15 minutes from Blowing Rock and Boone.

As I've mentioned previously, I've always had a love for being in fog in the mountains and by the seashore. When I saw how foggy it was a few weeks ago on my way to work, I decided to drive along the beautiful and densely wooded Blue Ridge Parkway to see what I could find. I came upon this mysterious scene and knew that I had found a real treasure and a new "mysterious mountain friend."

Mysterious Fog - Fine Art Inspirational Nature & Landscape Photography by Josiah Friberg

Fog is not so easy to photograph. The light that comes through fog enters the camera's lens and fools the camera's light meter, making it think that it is too bright. This results in the camera automatically compensating by trying to make everything 18% gray, which means that fog will normally get underexposed and the final result will be an image that is just too dark and not really representative of what the fog actually looked like. In this image, I reworked it in Photoshop to make the white fog look more truly white.

As I've mentioned previously, I've always had a love for being in fog in the mountains and by the seashore. When I saw how foggy it was a few weeks ago on my way to work, I decided to drive along the beautiful and densely wooded Blue Ridge Parkway to see what I could find. I came upon this mysterious scene, grabbed my camera, and started shooting. I hope that you enjoy it and are inspired by it.

Home On the Range - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Christian Friberg

Here's one more frost in the mountains landscape taken in Boone, North Carolina. When I saw how cold and frosty it was for those poor cows grazing out in the pasture, it made me thankful that I have a warm home to sleep in and live in. Notice the baby calf standing close to her mama.

Morning Has Broken - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

I've always loved frost in the mountains and in the countryside. When I saw how cold and frosty it was a few weeks ago on my way to work in Boone, I came upon this scene and just knew I had to capture it and share it with the world, so here it is for you to enjoy and be inspired by. It was quite cold while the morning sunlight broke out on the mountain top across from me. I also noticed a wild turkey fly in and land below the house in the upper left.

Morning Frost - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

I just love the autumn more than any other season. There's something very precious about all of the leaves changing such brilliant colors, the cold windy days, and the early morning frost that covers the grass and plants. I took this inspirational photography image of a frost covered plant up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. My goal is to help others see the awesome beauty and splendor in God's creation through my fine art landscapes. I hope viewing this photograph inspires a new sense of wonder in your heart towards your Creator and towards His awesome creation. God bless you!
