Bleached-out fields waiting for snowfall. These are more in-camera double exposures of the landscape. You can see a summer example of this technique here.

Three beautiful images. They have real depth to them.
Thank you!
Brr!
Yes, we are working our way towards the real cold.
Wonderful…I would love to go walking there…bundled-up and warm against the chill, yet relishing in it. Beautiful photos, Karen.
Thank you, Scott. It is a nice area to go walking.
You’re welcome….
Soft and beautiful fields…
🙂
I really like the cool mist in the background on the first one.
Thank you, Becky!
Beautiful soft tone and texture. I love it.
Thank you, Yoshizen.
I love the colours and texture in these Karen. The first picture is amzing.
Adrian, thank you. I’m happy you think so.
Absolutely splendid. I love these images. The soft colors and light are exquisite.
Thank you, Lemony, I like these subtle tones also.
A real wintery feel to these shots Karen. Lovely tones.
Yes, we are quite close to the real winter now! Thank you, David.
Very nice, I like the idea of waiting for snow. Do you use film or digital for the double exposure?
Hi Jim, thank you. These are digital in-camera double exposures. It’s been a while since I’ve done film double exposures actually!
Yes, that’s how my eye sees the landscape this time of year but I’ve never had the words. “Bleached out” says it! Love the double exposures. Your instincts are perfect.
Thank you, Elena. The double exposure technique has a lot of possibilities – I’m loving the process but I have a lot to learn.
very dreamy 🙂
Thank you, Joshi. 🙂
These are so beautiful, Karen!
Thank you, Anette!
Nice post, Karen ! Congrats !
Thanks very much.
I’ve been reading about and experimenting with double exposures a bit, so this post comes just in time for some inspiration! Love the Summer one as well – great shots.
Thank you, Ines. I hope you get a chance to make some double exposures.
so very painterly.. I love them karen
I’m glad you do. Thank you,Helen.
Excellent and creative images Karen. Well done!
Thanks, Phil. It is a fun process!
What a technique Karen! Beautiful images..
Thank you, Marija!
Even when framing more traditional subjects as landcapes, your images – and yours only – can alway boast have what i have come to call “uber-depth”. (Please imagine two dots over the “u”…) And i think it’s not because of the double exposure techinque, but rather a very unique form of vision. So glad you keep sharing this fantastic imagery.
Alessandro, you are very kind! Thank you so much, I’m thrilled that you find my work interesting. =)
ooh I love these. sketches and textures! you composed the last two images in such an interesting way – they are beautiful.
Thank you, Marina!
wonderful atmospheric
Thank you, Johan.
Everything is so gray…but what color there is, is very subtle…love it.
Thanks Hansi, I do love subtlety.
Again, my first reaction, especially to the top two, was to think they we’re paintings.
Your point of view is so individualistic and always fascinates me!
Hi Jane, I like that they come across as paintings in a way. Thanks for you nice comment! =)
The technique seems to lend these a restlessness and a real sense of anticipation. Great images.
fields in wait…
Thank you, Richard.
Beautiful landscape paintings, Karen!
I’m glad you think so, Ray. Thank you!
Three beautiful pictures. But for me instead of being three separate pictures they become one unity. It’s like the sight slowing moves down and further down from the first picture to the last. I love the textures and tones of them.
Thanks very much, Otto. Your comment is really interesting – I find these particular images belong together also. Their strength seems to be in them being viewed together.
So lovely – there’s something about your images, I don’t know if it’s the colour, or framing, or something else.. but they’re always unmistakably yours!
Thank you, Cath. I would say the same thing about your work – but it is hard to put a finger on what it is.
You have such a beautiful and delicate touch!
Thank you, Patti.
Hey Karen! (:
I used one of your pictures as my cover photo on Facebook. I did mention your name and website in it… I am not sure if it is okay with you. Do let me know, if you don’t like the idea I will delete the cover photo (:
Maria.
Hi Maria, that’s okay. I appreciate you letting me know and crediting me.
Best wishes,
Karen
