High note
If I felt that 2009 ended with a photographic low note, then 2010 started with a high note. No genuine high key (even if I tried), but I found a lot of other things that I didn’t expect at all. When I left in the morning, my only target was an old and broken tractor down at the mill. I hoped that it would be covered in frost so I could get high key pictures of broken tractor detail… well, turns out that there was no frost. Zero. 
So much for that plan. But these broken windows on the other hand, they were interesting. For the colourful picture, I kind of over-processed it in LR and found that I liked the result, so the picture was worth keeping just for the colour.
It kept snowing all the time and I felt like doing a long walk, so I took a de-tour and snapped a few frames I hoped would work as high key. They didn’t, but failing is also learning so at least I’m learning what doesn’t work.
And then to my great surprise, the sun (almost) came out. It didn’t paint the landscape in golden light, but there was no mistaking the orange orb in the sky. So I made another extension to my walk, in case the light would improve… well it didn’t, but I was incredibly happy with the day anyway. Wonderful weather, I had a lot of photo ops and my legs weren’t dead tired despite the long walk. I guess it helps when you’re not treading through deep snow though…
1 commentWeather – December 2009
If November was unusually warm then December was unusually cold, the last half of it anyway. Perfect winter month, actually. A nice mixture of winter weather with some days with constant sunshine (well, those 4 hours of it anyway) and some days with constant snowfall but most days just simply winter grey.
