You are invited to upload one or more of your landscape photos and, if you’d like, to accompany your image with some commentary: challenges you faced in making the image? your intent for the image? settings? post-processing decisions? why you did what you did? the place and time? or an aspect you’d like feedback on? And please feel free to ask questions of others who have posted images or to join the discussion. If you don’t feel like using words, that’s OK too—unaccompanied images (or unaccompanied words, for that matter) are also very much welcomed. As for the technicalities, the usual forum guidelines apply: files < 1 MB; image size <1000 px maximum dimension.

 

I woke up about 1am a couple of weeks ago and noticed an odd glow outside. I opened the front door and was greeted with 2 inches of accumulating snow. I realize that’s not a big deal to most of you, but to a sea-level denizen of the redwood coast, it ranks on par with sightings of UFOs and unicorns: this doesn’t happen here. So of course I grabbed a tripod and headed out. This is a 25 sec exposure at f11, with the only light being from a half moon above a snowing cloud layer. Within about 10 minutes the snowflakes had turned back into raindrops, and evidence of the whole episode was gone by mid-morning.

Ice and snow on a bush in my backyard a few days ago. I used a black cardboard sheet as a background. There were almost endless choices of interesting compositions from just this one ice and snow covered bush. It has been raining the past two days and all the snow and ice are rapidly melting away creating quite a sloppy mess. The bush no longer has any aesthetic appeal.

 

Leslie - I really like the hint of color at the end of the street in your photo. It really brightens the mood.
