Snow Beautiful

Sometimes we look outside and see "bad" weather, but "bad" weather can lead to beautiful pictures.  Here are some pictures I took during our last big snowstorm.  It was wet and heavy and hung to the trees.

 

 

This one I experimented using flash while the snow was falling.  I call it "Snow Fairies."

 

The Green Chair

I saw an old faded green chair at the old church we were photographing in the previous blog.  I moved the chair into place and took a few shots.  At home I experimented with them.  Here are the results:

And this is how I knew I wanted to do it when I saw the green chair.  Everything black and white with a bright green chair.

 

A New Year, New Experiences

I have generally done nature photography, but recently went on a trip to an old abandoned church in Indiana.  It was fun doing something different.  Here are a few images I took using HDR and then I turned them both into black and white.
