Snowman

More playing with my camera and studying composition......

Steven was shoveling the driveway so I took the opportunity to snap a photo.  The dark grey of his snow suit contrasts the snow perfectly.  The reflections in the snow behind him are very cool and add a lot of dimension to the pic.  I learned that it is paramount to make the face clear and I am very happy with the results. I even like how his glasses are a bit foggy from his breath and the icy cold air.  I would have cropped the top of the pic but it would have interfered with the look of the shadows.

Snow Storm

Snow, snow, snow!

We are on track for record snowfalls this year....woohoo!  I love the snow but enough is enough.

I am watching an online photo class on Creative Live and am playing with my camera.  A couple of things - I am learning about all the gear I NEED to become better and I am learning about all the things I have to pay attention to within myself to improve.

This is a shot I took of the truck across the road.  There are several things I am happy with - you can see the snow falling, the lights on the truck are on in contrast to the car and I love the semi-cleared windshield.  I think I got the appropriate depth of field for the shot as the background is somewhat blurry.

I will be practicing lots of picture taking in the near future.
