p.1 #1 · Snowlights


Hi... I am new to the B/W Vision forum and am not that experienced in B/W photography but I am always eager to learn

the following inage was taken from inside our unheated wintergarden. Outside a blizzard was raging with a windchill factor of minus 17 F.

C+C welcome.

Best, Bee

PS: Thanks Scott for pointing me to this forum...

Let me be the first to welcome you the the B & W forum, Bee! Lots of talented and kind people here. I've also found this to be the most tactful forum for critiques. No mean-spirited cuts; only honest, tactful evaluations.

This is a pretty arty looking shot. Looks like maybe some sort of sketch filter? I think I see an outline of a tree out the window. I'd like to see more contrast between the tree and the rest of the outside (if that really is a tree).
We're having the same weather here this week. Brrr...!

T-Bone... thanks for taking the time to comment and your interest.

No tree and no filters to help create a special effect. Straightforward photography and conversion to B/W

As mentioned before this was a blizzard with windchill factor of minus 17 F. These special conditions created the effect. What you see in front of the window are snowflakes which were driven against the glass and stuck frozen to it at will.

Beyond it the snow whirling around and lit by two outside lamps, one on each side of the window which is the upper part of a door.. I couldn't resist the spectacle and had to take a shot at it. I used very long exposure (25sec) See exif info.

Best, Bee

The b&w choice was a nice selection for this image. I like this, but I appreciate high-contrast. Nice work, and welcome.
