Funny how time changes viewpoint about a year ago I posted another image of this stream. At the time I looked at the contact sheet I liked the image [feb 10] better think I was more drawn to the reflections. Last year I printed this image which gives equal creative value to the winter trees and the dark contrast of the water and ice. Ah but looking back this image is B+W and the other Color Digital and the immediacy of digital was creeping in on me. Now with a darkroom a year later I printed the B+W. My photo of cold built with triangles and Negative space. enjoy pjc
The difference in shooting film is the attention to detail when composing in the viewfinder. Un-cropped using the zone system to nail the exposure. It is more of a planned journey. Not just a destination. enjoy pjc
Only you Peter, and some other accomplished photograhers, can take this very bland and usually ignored scene and turn it into a great black and white piece.
Thanks Rees another week will pass with not a flake in sight, unless I look in the mirror. enjoy pjc
