Wet Mirror

January Thaw is with us.

Wet Mirror

Depressing for those who love snow, but rather pretty nonetheless.

With freezing rain and rain in the forecast today and tomorrow, this won’t last long.

January weather in Northern Ontario is unpredictable.

Bad Weather

It is said that, “Bad weather makes good photographs.”  I tested this adage the other day when it was snowing and dull.

The processing of the initial image presents some interesting challenges and choices.  Monochrome is also one of the routes that I could have taken.

The objective was to get a feeling of the visually muted nature of the scenes without having the result turn out dull, drab and uninteresting.

You can be the judge, but please be gentle.

Winter Creek

Even though it is -20C, open water happens where the current is fast enough.

Winter on the Creek

Lee’s Creek beside Lee’s Road on a -20 C morning:

Ice Water

Many are too busy to be able to stop and look.

I can help with that.

What’s Coming?

As the new year begins the big question is, “What waits beyond the top of the hill?”

Moffat's Hill Mono

The uncertainty and the unknown are what make life exciting.  One can only wish for good things, knowing full well that it may not work out quite that way.

Happy 2013 and thank you to all who take the time to look in to Photodyssey.  Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Winter Walk

Near our place is a path through the forest.

Snowy Path

Spending a few minutes in awe of the delicate nature of the bush makes the day worthwhile.
