Continuing from yesterdays post, I had glimpsed that the trees across the river looked laden, so I decided to cross the bridge.
Indeed, it did look rather grand over there, but photographing at a distance did not produce photos as nice as the earlier ones. Sometimes, the more intimate photos work better than the wider scenes like these. Still, they were worth taking.
I decided to use the island to the right to give me some foreground interest.
I also got some foreground to the left in the next photo as well as a bit of a focal point in the house across the river. Purely by accident, the dip in the ripples almost points to the house. I wish I could write that I composed this deliberately, but alas, I didn't see it at all at the time, nor even in processing until after the fact.
.Before I left, I took this shot using branches of the near tree for a bit of a frame. I should probably crop away the right equipment to the right, but for now, it is what it is.
While this lot doesn't please me as much as the previous photos, I still like these photos well enough.
Lovely snow scenes. It's almost all melted here.
ReplyDeleteI just love the snow! I can just see it and 'hear' it in my mind. And with your photos as well, it brings me back to Norway in an instant.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see your snow pics. I'll be a fool when and if we ever get any, and go in search of something or another. I like the first of this series best...I'm always more interested in far scenes.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the only success I have in my photography without effort is the composition. I do not consciously do this 90% of the time, but I think we do compose unconsciously.
ReplyDeleteI do think the snow photographs are very pleasing. Have you done many/any highly macro close-ups featuring snow?

Love that second one, AC. It has a hint of mystery to it!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had that kind of snow cover here. It has been so mild of late all the snow has disappeared.
ReplyDeleteI think you've captured winter's beauty perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThat second to the last photo reminds me of a Monet painting. It was fun to see snow again on the mainland.
ReplyDeleteYour third shot is my favourite.
