File this under “They don’t make ‘em like this anymore!”
After I came in from shoveling this morning – I found myself staring at my snow boots. I’ve had them for most of my life. Started doing some math in my head… this is about the 29th winter with these boots. I have had no desire to get new ones. My parents bought these Sorel’s for me back in high school when we lived in northern Minnesota. Granted, I don’t use them nearly as much here as I did up on the lake in the middle of the Superior National Forest, but they go on most winter trips with me.
Anyways, I thought they looked cool and I figured I’d play with some photos. I’m still convinced the day to day, normal, simple things make the best photographs. Things you generally just walk by on your way to photograph that flower or that sunset or beautiful bird in the feeder.
Here’s a black and white that I liked:
ISO 800, f/5.0, 1/60th sec, 28mm - Nikon D300
And here are a series of different treatments of the same image. All have been tweaked in Adobe Lightroom. I used a number of different pre-sets. If you want to know more – give a shout. My personal favorite is probably the third one – but they all have some fun to them!
Wishing you the best of the season! Hope to have more posted before Christmas and New Year, but you know how it goes!
