On my way home from work Saturday I couldn’t resist stopping along the Oriskany Creek to capture a few images before all the snow melted. The warm temps have added to the water volume and made for a good display of splash over the small falls. Additional images for my Monochrome Winter series…

I found this scene on my way home from the library the other night. I knew I had to return and capture it before the snow disappeared. Another entry in my Monochrome Winter series.

Adding to the Monochrome Winter series with this lone leaf found in the snow outside of work. Some days it is just enough to get outside with the camera during lunch to re-charge the batteries.

Will 2013 be spent looking at the road you have traveled or will it find you looking ahead to the path before you? Me, I’m looking forward…
Another for my Monochrome Winter series.
Path Ahead

The latest image in my Monochrome Winter series. I’m glad I decided to try something like this. It has me looking around quite differently. Not only am I looking for a scene or object but now I am looking for tone and contrast, light and shadow. Obviously qualities that should be present in any image but not something I focused on previously.
Cattail Snow Caps

I live out in the country. My neighbor has a farm but mostly for a few horses and show cows. The current horse, Sonota, has been a favorite subject of mine although it is rare I get an image I truly like. Yesterday she posed for me as I was walking past her enclosure. This is probably the first image I have of her that I am very happy with.
I ended up trying to process this image as a black & white too. I’m not sure it is any better than the color version but I thought I would give it a try. I kept the processing very simple by only working in Lightroom for the conversion. I thought I would overdue the processing if I tempted myself with Topaz Labs B&W Effects.
Is This Pose Good?
