Here’s another photo of a snowy day at the square in Prescott- captured with intentional camera movement. We’ve had such a dry winter that it was a treat to take photos in actual snow, which gives a touch of minimalism that I love in photos.
So when you use intentional camera movement on a still life, is it still a still life…still?
I always love how snow transforms our downtown- and how intentional camera movement gives the scene a dreamy quality. I think we should be done having snowy days; snow from our last storm a few days ago was mostly melted by afternoon. Bring on Spring!
That intense gaze was directed at the sparrows and finches at the bird feeder. I took my photos and off he went. He looks like a Cooper’s hawk- but seems smaller than the other ones we’ve seen.
I got up before daybreak on last week’s snowy day and ventured outside into the barely visible snow. I used the intentional camera movement technique with bigger apertures than usual in the dim light and liked this image of the neighbors’ lights glowing through the trees.
Winter has finally come! We drove down to the Courthouse this morning and had a wonderful time seeing how the deepening blanket of snow transformed everything. I took a few standard photos and then had a great time waving my camera around for some winter impressionistic images.
