We had the first significant snowstorm last night. The simple design presented by these branches sticking out of the snow caught my eye. The photo is so stark that it doesn't give filters a lot to work with; but Charcoal did render it down into a few strokes, like Japanese brushwork.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
Interesting filter effect. I always enjoy the creative aspect of your posts. Glad you are safe and sound and warm inside!
ReplyDeleteVery cool image to start out with - love the contrast between the simple branch and stark white snow.
ReplyDeleteNicely shot too, snow is tricky . I love that this is sandwiched between two such colorful images
