Between Snowfalls

January 6, 2013 | drawandshoot

There is nothing minimalist about this landscape. In a way it is almost overwhelming in its tangled complexity and beauty. I find it a difficult landscape to photograph on a clear day in bright sun. I was skiing here the day before in diffused ethereal light, but regrettably, I did not take my camera. I am here often in the winter, though…

The trees laden with “snow blossoms”.

Gatineau Park, Quebec. Ski heaven.

Another snowy day here but with moments of glowing light. I love the landscape in its minimalist form. Velvet snow and bared limbs.

River Snowscapes & the Ghost of Seasons Past

The River in full-on winter. There is no shortage of snow here to welcome in the new year. It is crisp and beautiful.

The Ghost of Seasons Past: A seed head in double exposure …it would seem there may still be unknown life left in there…

Welcome, Winter

It is beautifully snowy here now. The trees are bent under the weight of it and the landscape is white and softly focused. These pictures are from yesterday – lots of snow was falling but some of it was melting and reforming into tiny drops of suspended worlds. Today those little worlds are frozen.

A Winter welcome.

To give you an idea of size; I think this little drop is suspended from a spider web. I have a picture of the drop focused perfectly but you can’t see the little world inside…

Autumn Fields,Winter Whispers

How the fields looked yesterday as they were collecting generous flakes of sticky snow. An irresistible sort of snowfall.

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.
