Into the Dark Night I Go

It was so quiet last night. A soft fine snow was falling and I wondered what a black and white shot might look like with just the light shining from the side of the house.
Cool shot

I can just see some high key footsteps in the snow! Very pretty!

Great lighting in this one. Perfect B&W shot.

It is really pretty cool. It does look a bit mysterious as you go beyond the reach of the light

A bit spooky and eerie ... you did well in adding a bit of mystery to this scene. Great shadows and I like the footprints in the snow.

very good perspective. it's hard sometimes to go out at night sometimes, because maybe in those shadows creepy things are lurking..

Thank you Maggie, Donald, Janice, Lisa, Nicole, Dione, Rick, Carole and Cindy!

I love that you all enjoyed the mystery of this shot. I liked it too. I must confess, they are not my footprints- rather Jeff's as the door to our crawlspace (like a basement but shorter for those of you not in the US) is just around the corner. He keeps all his tools there. As for what's in the shadows, I don't have to worry too much. Usually it's only deer and they run away most of the time!

Cool lighting. Made a good BW.

@daisy Thank you Kathryn! I have never taken a shot like this in b/w before, but I'd gone out to get a piece of wood from the rack and saw the way the light was falling onto the snow and thought "Mmmm, I wonder what this would look like in a b/w shot."

Excellent black and white ... the high contrast treatment, if not the subject matter reminds me a little of Bill Brandt. Love that dark void in the background.

@automaticslim Thank you Andy! I thought you'd like this one.

Pretty, where is your sled? :-)

@vposey Thank you Vickie- haha my sledding days are long gone! Now it's a wheelbarrow and a bunch of wood!
