How to proceed with this shot?
Ignore the fact that the picture is crooked for a moment. I’m having difficulty deciding on a crop for this photo. I also don’t know if I prefer color or black and white. I like them all!
By the way, I got guite a few nice shots (including this one) from the Heckrodt shoot. I’m glad I waited a bit to look at them. I feel like I can be more objective when I’ve sort of “forgot” about the pictures for a bit. There will be more incoming.
Weekend exploits.
The weekend was fairly productive. Saturday was a nephew’s birthday party. I took lots of pictures of children. (They like geting their picture taken, who knew?).
Sunday was spent at Heckrodt Wetland Preserve taking more pictures. There wasn’t much color, as nothing has budded yet and there was still snow on the ground there, and there wasn’t much wildlife running about. I did see a hawk gathering sticks for a nest. I think I got some decent shots if you like decay and rot, but I need to go through them first.
Tonight! Maybe.
Long and Cold
Let me start by saying, some of my favorite pictures have been taken in the winter. Snow and ice do crazy things and make neat shapes and create a lot of contrast.
Unfortunately, I’ve gotten to the the point where I really don’t want to take another photo of a winter landscape, or a pretty ice formation, or a duck chilling on a frozen whatever, while I’m freezing my butt off and my fingers are going numb.
I want some colors other than blue, brown, black, and white.
I want Spring! Please hurry up, Spring.
Anyway, I’m thinking of hitting up Heckrodt Wetland Preserve this weekend. I’d prefer to go there in the Summer, but hey, it’s not. At the very least it’ll be a nice walk. I also need more practice with the 70-300mm, so it’s a good excuse.
