white out! by summerfield

white out!

i woke up this morning to a total white out with large snow flakes hammering the window. well, not really hammering, just clinging to the window and before i would have a chance to shoot, the wind would blow them away. by mid-day though, all that white stuff is gone and the scenery was back to the dreary bare brown tree branches.

the 52-week challenge this week is landscape. i chose the portrait orientation so i could include the view starting from the vicinity immediately in front of the apartment building and then up to the downtown toronto skyline. and also because i didn't like the idea of that dark box of a building which takes away from the view so much when photographed in the landscape orientation; at least this way it is less distracting.
I like what you’ve done with this!

I know it’s bothering for you that live there, but snow gives landscape a lovely allure. Aces for the edit!

You are so right about the big building. I like seeing past it! This is a wonderful scene!

This is just lovely. Very creative to use portrait orientation instead of landscape. As you always say 'aces, Vikki, aces'

What a marvelously wintery scene, and I like the snow flake edges! A chilly alternative to our current weather! Happy New Year!

Winter most certainly has arrived over at yours. Your presentation certainly emphasises that. I like your rationale for the portrait landscape - it works very well. I love how you can trace a route through all those trees and snow to the dramatic city skyline at the back. Pretty cool.

I like the presentation of this photo and the look you acheived with a desaturated feeling.

Super processing of this shot - it does have that cold, wintery feel to it and your unusual portrait orientation works so well here.
