Day 128: A Chilly View

I woke up this morning thinking that I could get a great snow picture. Last night the snow kept coming down, and I thought that the trees would be covered. I have a spot picked out for when the snow finally covers some trees. I started down the road to the spot I had in mind when I realized that the snow was not as plentiful as I had hoped it would be. While the snow wasn’t deep it was very cold. At the time I was shooting I was amazingly cold, and I realized that it had to be colder than I thought it was. I checked my phone and the wind chill was two below. I knew that I had to get a picture early today so I just went to the top of a familiar garage. I tried to get a different angle than I did a couple of weeks ago when I took a night shot here. I was hoping for a little more, but I just did not see anything that really jumped out at me. I was also not dressed for the weather so the shoot was a quick one. I took my customary six images to make an HDR, but I liked this single image enough that I didn’t even process the other shots. I think that I am using HDR too much so I need to slowly ween myself off of it. I am supposed to be learning here, and while I have learned a lot using HDR I think that I need to pull back a bit.

  1. I know what you are saying about HDR, I guess there has to be a balance about when the right image is in need of using it. I have, once or twice, attempted to put the original image and the HDR one to see what people think is better. It is like a technique that you can get hooked on, like black and white, you get hooked on it and then every images is black and white whether it needs to be or not.
