Under the Oak Tree

Under the Oak Tree

I suppose January doesn’t look the same all over the world.  Here it is cold but it can be beautiful.  Photos with a lot of snow in them provide some challenges.  There is a lot of contrast and if the sun is shining the snow can be blinding.  Sometimes it helps to use a polarizing filter.   I didn’t use a filter for this photo there was enough shadow in it so I didn’t have to. I processed it in HDR which is another challenge with snow pictures.  it is easy to mess them up and end up with grayish black snow.  I have months to practice and hope to go out and shoot some farm scenes this winter.  Fields of snow . . . and cold.
