Endings and Beginnings: First Snow

Image(s)

Image Description

This was one of the first images I shot on my workshop up in the Canadian Rockies. It snowed, I had my iPhone, but I didn’t quite square up, and straightening it in post cut off the edges of the two end chairs. The far shore curves, as does this patio area in the opposite direction, and the view through trees is unique from this spot. Despite the flaws in composition, it’s among my best “fresh snowfall” images of the last year and a half.

I think the freshness of the snow (it’s still falling, if you look closely) communicates the end of the season of Adirondack chairs and the beginning of the season of club chairs by the fireplace.

Feedback Requests

Mostly just participating in the weekly challenge. I hope to get up to Mt Hood this weekend, but who knows if I’ll process it in time.

Lots of lessons on mindfulness of the frame in the field here. I learned them quickly as someone swept the chairs clean and moved them around by the time I decided it was a worthy subject and ran back to the room to get my Canon.

Pertinent Technical Details

It’s just an iPhone shot. Not sure why the filename says Canon 5DIV, but I need to look at my export naming settings.

A very neat composition, Marylynne. Very evocative of the end of one season leading into another.

Wonderful!! No nits from me!

Marylynne, this makes me glad to to be needing to sit down… The red chairs stand out from the snow and the trees. You’ve got a good look into the distance with the far shore line showing faintly.

Marylynne: Makes me want to brush off one of those chairs and just sit and take in the view and silence. Perhaps not a perfect capture but certainly a wonderful mood. >=))>
