The Quiet Picture

Random rants and occasional photographs

Feb 2

Whole lotta snow

I’m not complaining, we got more snow. But I am just a little bit disappointed about the wind, so the beautiful new powder is spoiled by the wind blown debris. I guess that’s what they call a luxury problem…

Not that it matters that much anyway, at the moment. I’m still fighting the remains of a cold I caught on that memorable day on Flatruet last week. It’s been two years since my last cold and I got off easy again, I’m definitely not complaining!

But it all means that I settled for just a small walk in the forest, concentrating on small landscapes and then playing in Lightroom, blowing out the whites for a semi-high key image (and cloned out some debris on the snow).

    I’m heading up north next weekend, hope there’s some snow there. It’s not gonna be a photogenic trip though - gotta spend some time with my children :)

    Gotta say that I had similar pictures in mind as well, but around here snow did not create that nice textures onto trees. I like the lack of green on this one - colour works pretty darn nicely in my opinion :)

    Rane - I trust that you have your camera with you anyway, so may the snow be with you!

    Miika - we have at least half a metre more snow here than in Ljusdal. That alone was worth moving to the middle of nowhere… :D
