Weekly Photo Projects, Week 2

Week 2, theme winter

2 down, 50 to go. Huh, when you put it that way there's a long way to go. First up we have my shot for my group, +Weekly Photo Project 2013. This week our theme was winter/summer, depending on what hemisphere you were in.  There isn't really a winter in my area, certainly not the postcard peaceful looking snow scenes most people associate with winter, so I had to make due with frost. And I had to get up early to get the frost before the sun did it's job.

Me, in infrared

Over at +Project 52 B&W we had one of my least favorite themes, the self portrait. I like to be behind the lens, not in front of it. So while out shooting Pewetoll Island I thought I'd try something out. With some very strong sun coming in I put on my infrared lens filter. I had read that when used for portraits it makes skin glow. It did make my skin glow a little, but it also worked on the lenses of my polarized sunglasses, and made my very dark blue jacket look anything but. It was a neat experiment. You can see the progression of shots here.

Next week we have rules of thirds and frozen, and I already have ideas for both of them.
