"The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow. Be careful how you tread it, for every step will show.” Unknown

 

 

 

 

 

A walk through the woods

The white snow cover makes any footprint visible from a distance, as those in the picture which most probably belong to a rabbit. With 10 inches of snow I was glad to have a heated home.

The village

The wind-blown snow around those weed stems created some very interesting patterns adding some "texture" to the uniformity of snow. This image reminded me of a scene from the desert. Just liked the appearance.

At the beginning of February 2006 the weather in Belgium was very uncomfortable and unhealthy. An inversion above the country combined with subzero temperatures caused a long lasting freezing fog that covered everything with a thin white layer of ice. I made a lot of photo's of the monotone landscape on an early afternoon, but I was unhappy with the pale colours that I got with all that white. Then I decided to convert them into black and white which gave them a much stronger look. I also enhanced this look by applying curves.

Neuschwantstein Castle

This is one of the first IR photos I shot at Castle Neuschwanstein in Germany. I had a white balanced preset from a photo taken at a green field earlier. I was fortunate enough to have a very nice day for shooting this photo. This allowed me to shoot with speed 1/15 at only 500 ISO. I have only made an unsharp mask and some brightness/contrast adjustments to the photo. I would like to note that a Cokin holder with an IR Cokin 89B (Ref.007) was used for this photo.
