Description

Winterscapes - The Art of Photographing Snow & Ice Winterscapes: The Art of Photographing Snow & Ice Winter in the Northeast is a magical time, with special happenstances that can lead to distinctive imagery. Blanketing snows provide a clean white canvas on which Nature paints beautiful, intimate scenes. Winter is most dynamic in its extremes — big snows and heavy icing. Portraying winter artistically in photographs requires special attention to the weather and light, composition and exposure. Mark will explore the art of seeing winter’s beauty and offer strategies, tips and techniques for crafting compelling images of dramatic snow-covered mountains, pristine backwoods, and intricate ice formations on lakes, ponds and waterways. He’ll also offer insight into image processing. Even small snowfalls can create winter wonderlands. Snow simplifies the landscape, accentuating lines and form. Winds sculpt it into fanciful patterns. The possibilities for beautiful imagery are unbounded, ever-changing with the weather and light. Mark Bowie is a professional nature photographer, writer and much sought-after public speaker.
