Snow White :: 1 foot of snow today!

FINALLY, Iowa gets some decent snow.

I'm not sure if this belongs in this board or somewhere else, so please move if in wrong spot. Thanks

Taken from my Flickr photostream (sig has link.)





This next one is a clip to hold a chain gate connector to the fence.


In Remembrance. But I don't know what of.


I encourage a large-size look at this one (click to enlarge)


And for this last one, I HIGHLY recommend an ORIGINAL size look, because right now at small size it's almost ugly IMO, so click it:



Enjoy Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Snow is a new and difficult photography concept for me because of its rarity of season and the limited colors: Brown, black, and white.

Cheers,

Decent snow? Is there snow that is indecent? Just kidding. Glad I don't live where that stuff falls.

Good pictures!

Thanks!

I wonder how, after 90 views, that I can entice more than 1 comment? :-/ I seem to have trouble with that recently. Is it just that better photos get more comments, and are people too afraid to offer constructive criticism?

Don't worry about comments. It happens all the time and some threads end up with disproportionate numbers of comments, but in a community this large, it's hard for everyone!

I am jealous of your snow. We got less than an inch here so far this year and I'm sad because I love the white stuff.

I live in Wisconsin and we just got a bunch of snow this weekend, too... probably the same weather you got! I've been admiring the snow like crazy... it's beautiful lacing the trees. It makes the brown/grey dead plants look much more beautiful!

I've struggled with trying to get a shot that captures the beauty of what I'm actually seeing out my window. I think your shots are nice and I can certainly appreciate them since I'm looking out the window at the same thing!

As for some CC...I would like to see #2 cropped to remove the dark areas... I think it would be have a softer and more dramatic feel if it was just the yellow against the white snow.

The last one I think it just too busy, IMO. I would suggest focusing on one or a few trees to give it a more dramatic feel. All those branches in the background take away from shot because it's harder for the eye to see the snow on the branches. I also find that shooting trees with darker bark gives a more dramatic effect due to the contrast of the snow on the branches.

Anyway, that's just my .02! Like I said, I'm also trying to find ways to capture the beauty of all that white stuff! Enjoy the snow!!!
