Winter Shooting (Yashica 35 GX images)
It becomes a bit more difficult to find subject matter during that time of year when everything is brown and drab. But rather than giving up or fruitlessly looking for what isn’t there I think you should embrace the winterlude and look to new subjects. Your images may not be as pretty but they could be as good. Where in the spring you might take a grand sweeping landscape shot now maybe you notice that one last leaf hanging on, or maybe you can take a moment longer on a composition. Some subjects such as industrial and city shots might better suit the winter or evoke a different feeling that you could not get on a bright spring day. In fact the extra challenge of finding subjects can help to make you a better photographer. I’m looking forward to taking some photographs in the snow but I’m not waiting for it. Of course this isn’t the same across the globe and I feel fortunate to have distinct seasons even if it can be cold sometimes.
UPDATE : Sometimes I write something and it gets pushed back for some reason and that’s the case here. Since I wrote this post it has most definitely snowed and is now melting.
