I always love reading the stories behind the photos ..
and this was a great story ..
particularly the F it .. and overcoming the inertia ..
I find that difficult too .. overcoming the inertia and motivating myself ..
but often when I do the 'payback' is wonderful .. being in the zone when taking photos .. it's like a meditation .. changes the colour of my day ..
then if a photo goes well here there's the validation and appreciation from other ppl .. which always feels nice ..
the other wonderful thing about this very unique site is we take photos that would never have existed if we weren't shooting for a challenge ..
if you're anything like me .. some of those photos taken for challenges have become my most precious .. especially if family were in them ..
many congratulations on this beautiful image getting the blue .. it would look amazing printed and hanging on your wall .. :)
Thanks Roz :D
You are right ... I am pretty sure I would not have hung my daughters and wife with ropes and roofing harness in the back yard, or crucified myself, if not for the answer to a DP Challenge LOL
Thanks to everyone who viewed voted and especially commented on my trees.
I was driving from a job and encountered this crazy fog. I have been away from shooting regularly so it was 'challenge' to overcome inertia and
actually get in the headspace of shooting. All of a sudden I saw this stand of snow covered trees. I initially drove by thinking to myself that looked really cool.
I went about a km past and said F it, and did a quick u turn. I am so glad I went back. There was snow drizzle and deafening silence ... really beautiful.
DPC has had some obvious changes over the years, but its spirit and the challenging of ones creative juices is still the same.
And I can tell you, it is just as exciting at the rollover last nite, as it was so many years ago.
Thanks again to all :D

Congrats on the ribbon and I'm glad this was my top pick! Also good to see another shooter back after a few years away, great woodland shot and a wonderful landscape!
where i live in australia we dont get snow ..
but i have seen it years ago ..
the quiet .. thats particularly what i remember .. this is beautiful .. and fits the challenge .. :)
I'm so jealous you got this. I'm really looking to get into more woodland photography and am waiting for the right conditions and timing, just missed our first snow! Love the way the path is hinted at going into the photo and the trees disappearing into the fog. My pick so far.
