1406_1224 Forest Snowpatch Debris - 2014

            Last in the series of close ups and abstractions from the natural world, cropped square. I love photographing the last melting snowbanks and snow patches in forested areas in late spring. The random fallen conifer needles, cones, seeds, lichens, and other debris form endlessly cool and interesting patterns, while the snow beneath creates a high key background that I find pleasing.

Tripod, macro lens, parallel plane focusing. What fun!

Tomorrow I will begin an image set of late summer & fall photos, including some landscapes but mostly wildlife. Spring and fall are the best seasons on the prairie. Not too hot, not too cold, and as the tourists depart until next year the wildlife become more evident and more active. 

Photographed in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta (Canada). Don't use this image on websites, blogs, or other media without explicit permission ©2014 James R. Page - all rights reserved.
