If you like to have an idea how the newletter looks like take a look here.

After weeks not touching my camera i finally had the time to go on the road in the beginning of februari. I really wanted to shoot the snowdrops. On the road I was surprised by snow. So great. I had no chance to take pictures of snow yet so this was great both of them together. The forest looks like a fairy tail all 'dressed' in white.

The snowdrops were half covert by snow and the small flower buds were not opened yet.On my belly in the snow with my thermo pants and rain cover paints on I was pretty comfortable in the snow. However a snow pants would have been much warmer. But at my place there was not a touch of snow so I didn't bring it.

At first I start with over exposure this way you get nice fresh pictures with soft colours.

And then I underexposed because I love to make different moods.

A fun thing to do is to play with white balance this is another way to get great moods.

The photo's below are taken a week later when the snow was completely gone. It was very early and freezing so the flowers were still closed. But the nice rising sun brought colours in the corners of the shadow and the flower buds were awakening.

Using the backlight is still one of my favorite specially when the sun is just rising. But it was a very tiny sun but that just gave these really soft colours i love.

This is the end of the blog. I hope spring will begin soon. Thank you for visiting my blog.
