Lessons learned from shooting in snowstorms

This is another image taken during a heavy snowstorm. It can be so rewarding to get out in such adverse conditions but presents unique challenges.

As I think my own experiences may help others I have documented the types of things I typically come across and may not be obvious on my website blog.

Take a look if interested, otherwise, I hope you enjoy this result

Thanks for you kind comment Ruth.
Unfortunately as you may have figured by now the link is simply to a blog entry (I would be terrible with video). I hope I didn't mislead or disappoint you.

Hello Alan,
I'd be curious you to multiply the versions of this photography. Notably, in trying to elongate the frame in height and in cutting the lower section of the picture (the snowy section to make the trees close to the bordure of the frame). And keep this symtetric view.

I'd be tempted to frame as I think David implies, Alan - as if tilting the camera up a little. However, that's typical of me, and your framing is pretty classic.

One of my hobbyhorses - symmetry just a little too perfect? One central smaller tree, with three each side.

Thanks for the input Chris. I took a variety of compositions that day (have to make the most of those conditions...) and believe I have another that better suits your taste. I'll try to post to compare.
For this one I was looking for something very graphical and balanced.

Thanks for the comment David. I may actually have this same image framed as suggested - this was the composition I settled on but that's not to say there are other options available that may tell slightly different story.

This little tree in the middle stands out in a conceptual sense. In addition to the repetitive effect and the minimalist approach to the composition, this photo also has an artistic spirit.
Great work Alan!
