I’m excited to announce that I wil be starting a new series of free live…
The February 2011 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. Mt Beacon is home for me, and whenever it snows, I climb to the top as often as possible – you never know what you’re going to find. This particular day was special due to a combination of great light, cold conditions, and fresh snow from the night before.
As always, come closer to nature in the Hudson Valley.

I love this kind of winter light, the part sun, part fog, part clouds soft diffuse effect. Great image.
@David – Thanks David, yes it is probably my favorite light as well – especially with this kind of subject. I find snow quite difficult to photograph successfully, and of course that means different things to different photographers. For me I want to see in the photo what makes me most excited about – the texture, which also implies how it feels and how it sounds. So many senses to keep track of when we photograph, but again it is part of mastering the language – something every photographer should work at constantly.
