Winter Woodland Photography

A day in the woods.....

I am a firm believer that there is beauty in your own back yard. I've recently moved to a new home and although there are acres of woodland, I haven't done a lot of exploring yet.

Taking inspiration from a few of my favorite landscape photographers, I grabbed my snowshoes and decided to do just that - go exploring. The weather was perfect, 26°F and the light was just right. I had a wonderful time enjoying nature; however, I was not able to find a good composition for landscape photography.

The time was not lost though. Scouting for a composition put me in a creative mood. Spending time looking, getting exercise, getting to know my local woodlands was all worth it. I was able to capture this photo of a small babbling brook with some snow and ice on it, which I think is very lovely.

I will move on to a different woodland next time. It is only February so there is plenty of time to capture a snowy woodland landscape.

If you are lacking something to photograph, take a look around in your back yard. You may be surprised what you find.

Blessing,
