The Dead Season #1
by F Timothy Kingst
I usually dread this time of year; after the vivid Fall colour has gone and before the fresh snowfalls, everything looks dead or drab.
This year I decided to try and not let my preconceptions get in the way of what I see or want to see.
What interested me here, is that , although I went out to photograph ice formations that had nice patterns containing many bubbles and swirls, I noticed another kind of ice, an ice with no entrained air bubbles at all. Sounds silly, but this seems much more like frozen water and not what I would imagine "ice" to be.
By the end of my walk , I was appreciative of this season, and was hoping the snow would hold off for a few more days, Tim.

25 commentsWe have snow here. Haven't seen the sun in three months, but we have had snow for about two months now. We only had a week of "this time of year," but it can be beautiful in a subtle way.
I quite like the effect of the sun on the maple leaves but find the frozen bit of straw a distraction. I think it might look a bit more dramatic if you were to crop it an inch below just where the sun hits the rock.

A perfect photo. I like colour pallette very much.
Good light

Strangely enough, the barren, freezing up time of the year is my favourite.
