A winter's tale

Gallery: LandscapePosted February 22, 2011125 views4 comments

Taken less than 48 hours after the huge blizzard (we got about 21 inches in NE Illinois) earlier this month on the East Side of the Morton Arboretum. I was standing in a drift that was at least 30 inches deep at the time I tripped the shutter. What fun.

I processed this as a five-image HDR and then converted to b/w and applied post-processing in Photoshop.

Like the direction of your shadows I could never get my shadows and subject to coordinate. After looking at your BW I may have to go back to a couple and try them that way. Thanks.

I like the shadows and circle dimple made by the root.

Winter B&W images have always been appealing to me, especially when they include shadows such as this one. Very nice, Kerry!

Nice shadow lines and shapes here, Kerry. I like your comp, it makes for a pleasing winter scene. Nice work.
