Snow and Ice

It is winter here in Finland and we got 20-40 cm of snow last Friday  – so I have to go with textures of winter.

Snow flakes can be so beautiful…beauty in detail

Mustaa ja Valkoista #140

Tällä kertaa haastankin kaikki etsimään kuvauskohteeksi jotain valmiiksi/luonnostaan mustavalkoista,

eli kuvaa ei saa olla käsitelty mustavalkoiseksi, eikä sitä saa ottaa kameran mustavalkoasetuksilla! 

This time, I challenge all to find a subject that is already / naturally black and white,

 the image should not be treated black and white, and will not be allowed to take black and white camera settings!

Candle light

This time of the year it so dark – so early that candle light gives me so soft light to brighten the evening

 How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. ~William Shakespeare
