A Light Dusting . . .

Was out today briefly to get some shopping as im housebound for the last couple of
days with a chest infection, anyway I just hopped out of the car to grab this
as it may be the only SNOW pic I get from this cold snap.It is a plain enough image but I kinda like it, does the colour or mono work better?
Hi alan, hope you drifted happily into the new year.
Regarding your image and question: i would prefer bw as the colours doesn’t tell a special story. I understand the desire to catch the “last snow” – i drove through a magical snowlandscape one night, everything covered , unreal, WIHTOUT my camera – next day WITH my camera the snow was gone ) ; – crap However: for the purpose of having a snowimages it is o k. for the pupose of having a great and exciting images with a story….mmmmhhh not sure.

Agree!
thanks for the feedback all the same.
Hi Alan,
Sorry to hear you have not been well and glad you are getting out now.
I kinda like this image and probably for personal reasons.
I see part of a farm which is probably still in use because the
tractor tyre marks are fresh and the “installations” altough a
little ramshackle don’t look abandoned.I see what looks like a makeshift, probably self built, enclosure which is
probably used to corral sheep or cattle for administering medication or
sorting.I see a gatepost constructed using an old oil drum.
These things are all familiar to me.
Probably won’t win any awards but it is definitely a slice of somebody’s life.
I think it would be interesting to photograph here when there was some work
going on.The colour version says more to me because I can see the different coloured
tubelar gates, the red barrell and the rusting metal.Cheers.
John.
Thanks John,
I thought it might catch your eye all right!
no it aint gonna win any awards, but there is still a story to be told here
and could be an addition to my bleak north ease galway landscapes…I posted some film results HERE of some more
b+w images from around the same areas.I’m really not sure about this at all Alan.
Nothing about it strikes a chord with me… aesthetically, artistically, technically… and compositionally it’s really akward.

Are you sure? It really says nothing to me at all.
I’m just being honest with you… so don’t take my scathing remarks too hard.
no probs at all john,
thanks for the feedback.
What struck me about this and I have walked by this
many times but on this day… the colours and in particularly
the light and colours really highlighted the haphazzard
bundling of different components to create fencing etc.ok there are millions of examples of such around but on this day
instead of the gray/brown road etc; the not so bright light and the
contrasing elements just caught me that day.Now it is by no means going to be nominated for ‘photo of the month’
actually by a long stretch!!
