White Death, O Cebreiro, February 2019

Adrian Otero February 13, 2019
February 11, 2019

I showed how I made and edited this image in a video a few days ago, so there's little else I can say about it.

Cemeteries aren't usually places I like to photograph. That day, though, I was looking for subjects that would look good with that layer of fresh snow. Things you wouldn't see covered in snow often in that area.

When I saw it, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to reach it. The path to the cemetery was covered in untouched snow, and the gate was closed. I still wanted to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. I had no problem getting inside.

After a short walk and trying a few initial compositions, I stumbled upon this one. Everything was perfectly in place, a big cross with its white tomb, and a line of other dark crosses in the background.

Once you see a composition, everything is very easy. The hardest part of photography is to recognize it when you see it.
