Snowdriftmania-2026

in Photography8 hours ago

Every year I photograph snowdrifts and still can't come up with a standard, that is, something that would completely satisfy me. If snow caps and balls on branches are one thing, then snowdrifts are always about the same.

The snow is not going to disappear from the streets yet, so I have time to find an approach to the snowdrifts.

I have interesting footage from two years ago on a smartphone with snowdrifts, but not realized in better quality on a "real" camera.

I think that's the language of interaction between snowdrifts and space that I should apply this time.

But while my attention is stolen by balls and snow caps, the snowdrifts are still standing on the sidelines.

If you take it point-by-point, then with each walk you can collect a good series of snowdrifts and schedule it as a whole for this winter.

But I need to fully immerse myself in this world in order to get the most out of the snowdrifts.

The theme of balls and caps, that is, snow growths on surfaces not adjacent to the ground, will be implemented separately.

So far, I'm passionate about the uniqueness of the phenomenon – something that doesn't happen every year.

And then I'll give myself up to the mundane and work with it – the snowdrifts should still grow.

The main thing is to remind myself of the techniques that I used when shooting on my smartphone.

I don't want to get hung up on one topic.

Even if something doesn't let go, I will try to expand the plot variety.

In addition, February is considered the snowiest month of the year.

My least favorite month should give me something to enjoy.

If only it didn't start melting ahead of time!

I'm still hoping for an increase in snow cover.

Come on winter, show me what you can do!
