The golf course, my favorite spot to photograph during the winter months here in town. This is round two, the day after I photographed the winter storm that covered the area with snow (watch first part here).

Winter storm photography in Indiana
This had been a very mild winter, with almost no snow for more than a month. I had to wait weeks, but it finally happened and I got those snowy Midwest landscapes I love to photograph.

The calm during the storm
Galicia, April 2022.
I found this composition during the recent blizzard we had around here. At that moment, the scene was clear, and I was capturing distracting elements in the frame besides the building and the rock.
I thought that was the best I could do in the field, and that I'd have to work the image in post to get rid of the distractions. Luckily for me, nature gave me a hand in the form of a cloud that created some beautiful foggy conditions for a few minutes. Enough for me to capture the scene with just the two elements I wanted to show.
Apartment tree
Galicia, April 2022.
I took lots of pictures of this tree over the three days I got to spend up in the mountains, waiting for the snowstorm to hit.
And as it usually goes, the best image came at the very last day, at the very last minute. Just when the snow stopped, and the fog came.

A blizzard in spring: why timing trumps location in photography
The winter was over; or so I thought. A rare spring blizzard hit the mountains of Galicia, in NW Spain, and being just an hour away, I couldn't miss it. Because in photography, timing always trumps location and subject. An incredible couple of days spent in the snow, a time I used to make tons of images.
Contact sheets from Michigan City
I've been taking many more images than I usually do lately. It's been so cold that I need to keep moving to stay warm, so I don't have as much time to think about the composition. I shoot every angle that looks interesting, and go through those shots later from a warm home.
Thing is, I delete a lot of pictures. I felt like it was a waste, so I created a few contact sheets that I share with you in this video.

POV photography in the snow at Notre Dame
Rachel and I visited the Notre Dame campus on a beautiful and snowy morning. I made some images and recorded a POV video.
