Finally...it feels like winter. We had a beautiful snowfall...and now it's melting as quickly as it came. I'm glad I had the chance to get out and snap a few shots for the water challenge. I love snow. I remember the fun of making snow cream as a kid...yummmmm. Everything seems so peaceful in a snowfall. It really gives you a sense of peace. I'll be posting a few shots over the next couple of days. I loved the texture of this shot with the nice white pristine snow against the rough texture of the tree stump and the stuff (I have no idea what it is) growing on the side. We have these stumps around our fire pit. They came from a group of 3 trees that blew over in a big storm a few years back. They make nice cheap seats for the fire pit...and sometimes interesting photographic subjects. I'm adding a B&W version of this shot. I like the color, but the B&W has such great texture. Trying my hand at B&W conversion.
Settings: ISO 100, F 5.6, SS 1/45, Focal length 78mm, shot in manual in RAW. Lighting adjustment and defog in PSE5.

OOOO- I like! Very nice, peaceful...it's funny how when you remove the color, you get a different "look" into the "window".
Great conversion! I like the color one a bit better, because you can see the browns in the trunk. :) great job!
Oh I really like the color one on here! Great work!

I'm tossed up between the two. Quiting liking them both. Very cool subject matter!
Very cool looking tree stumps! Great conversion too!
I really like the b&w conversion. Great shot!
I prefer the color version, good contrast between the white of the snow and the wood and fungi colors.
Very nice shots. I tend to go crazy over B&W conversions, but to me, somehow the color works better. I just like the brown tones against the white snow or something. Great job!
pretty, pretty, pretty. something about this show that I really like. I think I like the color one the best.
LOL- hard water! love the name. the DOF in these is great-kept it sharp but showed the depth...
