Long story short. It snowed. I went outside with my camera. I stood under a tree. I took a picture. Here it is.Longer story. Overnight snow left a coating on the trees. The next morning, I stood under an oak tree looking through the viewfinder of the camera at various limbs, trying to frame a pleasing set of branches. I got to this branch which brought to mind the look and feel of a Japanese woodcut print.
Interesting how an idea may crop up while exploring nothing in particular. Some process-oriented people might call it wasting time. We intuitive types know better.

could you send some that snow down to Oklahoma?
ReplyDeleteI would if I could. Hope you're not affected by the fires going on down there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo! I've always loved the look of snow on trees. Great photography!
ReplyDeletejames, this is wonderful - it almost looks like you have photoshopped it to appear as a print instead of a picture!! but of course, i know you wouldn't do that so i will simply acknowledge a wonderful shot :)
ReplyDeletem2,
ReplyDeleteI can freely confess that the image you see is what hit the film in my camera. Thanks for the comments and for stopping by!
I love it.
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to paint something like that some time.
This is a great shot. The view through the snowy branches to the moon is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone, for your kind comments.
ReplyDeleteooh my -- I love this
ReplyDeletesnow on trees carol? We've got plenty!!!
interesting composition. I like it. I think this shot would look pretty cool in black and white or a sepia/quadtone type thing. I would also maybe try to photoshop out the branches in the background in the bottom right corner. That's weird that I'm saying that cause I don't like 'faking'.
