Lately I've been doing a lot of winter hiking and early morning shoots. Many photographers hole up when the snow flies, but there is a lot of subtle and sometimes stark beauty to be found. Snow is never easy to shoot in, but I've been learning a lot while trying to convey the wonder I feel when I'm out there.

Softly Stepping. Dunklee Pond, Hollis NH


Unnamed pond @ Pawtuckaway State Park in NH


Frosty Milkweed @ Massabesic Audubon Conservation Area, Auburn NH


Morning light @ Dunklee Pond, Hollis NH


that last one is probably my favorite.

Yeah, I've taken landscapes and vistas, too, but sometimes the quiet, intimate moments of winter convey even more. Thoughts?? Ideas? Improvements?
