“In order to see birds it is necessary to become part of the silence.” — Robert Lynd. You also have to look very carefully because some of them are wearing a mask!
How strange that this list was posted before the pandemic yet this week’s category is mask. I have always thought that chickadees look like they are wearing little masks as they steal seeds from the feeder. #capture52 #capture52week #chickadee #mask
“Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing her essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. She takes you to a place within yourself.” - Annie Leibovitz

“And the needles of the pine trees, freshly washed to a deep, rich green, shimmered with droplets that blinked like clear crystals.” - Billie Letts

"Shadow is a colour as light is, but less brilliant; light and shadow are only the relation of two tones." - Paul Cezanne
Black and White November is over and color will once again feature prominently in my December pictures — after today, that is! This week’s #dogwood52 prompt is actually a great transition from the previous thirty monochromatic images to the final thirty full color photos in this year’s #Project365.
Split Toning is an effect which has its origins in film. It involves tinting the highlights in an image one color and the shadows another color. For best results, photographers often start with a black and white image and use opposite colors for each, such as yellow and blue, green and magenta, etc. for the highlights and shadows.
This was a new process for me. I used yellow for the faded hydrangea petals and blue for the shadows in the snow. I like how this effect illustrates the brilliance of a sunny winter day. #dogwood52 #dogwoodweek48

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show." - Andrew Wyeth
