After the Snowfall...




It snowed on Saturday and I had planned to get up at first light to shoot the freshly fallen snow, but could not sleep so I went out two hours before sunrise and shot these beauties of the old pump house at Skylands. The exposures were 30 seconds long.  I used a flashlight (That's a torch for my friend Dave in England) to paint the front of the building with light and bring out hidden detail in the shadows.  I let the wide open shutter do the rest.

Keep Makin' Art!

Beauties indeed! Was it the anticipation that prevented you from sleeping?

Hi Dave. I am not sure exactly why I was not sleeping, I had been away from home for almost three weeks and there was a lot on my mind. Perhaps that we it.
