Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__EF24-105mm f\/4L IS USM__1\/8 sec at f \/ 16__ISO 400<\/p><\/div>\n

Last Friday, I drove my daughter to school in a spring snowstorm.\u00a0 On my way home, I stopped at a favorite pond.\u00a0 The flakes fell furiously, with that silent energy of falling snow.\u00a0 The meadow and oaks were white, the landscape simplified like a black and white etching.\u00a0 I used my 24-105mm to capture a wide view of the scene, trying to break my habit of isolating intimate details of nature.\u00a0 Well, it didn’t work out in that regard.\u00a0 After struggling with a wide composition, I zoomed in on the falling flakes and tree reflections.\u00a0 In order to show the snow and preserve the ripple shapes, I boosted my ISO to 4oo for a faster shutter speed along with the small aperture.<\/p>\n

I am not sure others will enjoy the subtle quietude of this photograph, but this type of experience is what inspires me most deeply, a new Landscapes of the Spirit<\/a> image for that ongoing portfolio<\/a>.<\/p>\n
