The Morning After--B&W Snowstorm

[EasternSierra]

It snowed all week. I mean ALL week. It started mid-afternoon last Sunday and stopped early this morning...Friday Morning. At least there is plenty of water for wildflowers in the spring...

Anyhow...I went down to see how "my horses" were doing after this viscious storm...


When the Clouds Break


Cold and Foggy Morning

Of course...par for the course...the sun warmed up, and the cloud base lifted above 15,000', and everything started to melt. But those hgh level clouds hung in there. This storm might not be quite over just yet...



Thanks for taking the time to look!

Hello there ... at least the horses are ok ... I think that storm is heading towards the midwest this weekend

Your photos are exactly why I Love B/W . Well done. You can feel the breathe of the horses.

great pose by the horse in the last shot...I keep going back to the 1st shot......has a mysterious lighting and softness to it.....we might get some of that snow later next week...not sure

What a wonderful set -- three beautiful photos. I love both the dreamy focus of the first and the crisp focus of the last -- two totally different moods with the same subject and setting. Nice!

I have to agree with the others . That last one is fantastic

TFS,

Great set of B&W shots. The horses seem to be posing for the shot. Nicely done.

Thanks, everyone, for the comments! The first shot is actually processed using the Orton Technique. There was more fog for the first shot, and it started breaking up for the others. So the first shot was really difficult to get good focus. Rather than battle the soft-edging from the fog...I processed for the Orton Effect, exaggerated the softness, and that's what I got!

Thanks again for taking the time to look and comment!
