Snow

So, I went on my annual New Year’s Day outing, and this year, like last year, I went to the snow. Last year, I went to Yosemite, but this year I wanted to stay a little closer to home, and I went up into the Sierra’s near Lake Tahoe.

The image I wanted to make was of the winter snow-capped mountains from a distance, but that didn’t pan out, as the road I had to be on to get the view I wanted was closed due to snow. I would have thought that it would a be a plowed road. I thought about turning around and going home, but I decided against that. It was a nice day out, but I should have gone with my first instinct to turn back.

I made two images, and while I like them, it wasn’t what I wanted. Both are snowscapes, one in black and white and one in color. You can enjoy them here and here.

If the weather is permitting, next weekend I plan on shooting Mt. Shasta, as it’s covered with snow, and I’ve been wanting to image it in the winter for two years now.
