Blogging for photographic pleasure..

Hi, I'm Andrew Wallace, a photographer currently living in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

This blog is almost entirely about my photography. Some posts will cover the what, how and why of my photographs. Others will look at the planning and execution of various photography related projects. Also coming soon will be details of my personal one-on-one photography workshops.

Hobart is blessed with the sight of Mount Wellington taking up the whole western horizon and for three weeks it's had a good coating of snow. So naturally I ventured up to the summit by car which is only 30 minutes from the center of the city. Rugged up against the cold and wind last Monday I was comfortable but finding snow without footprints required walking off tracks through knee and occasionally thigh-deep snow. The trees and rocks poking from the deep drifts looked beautiful. But, as in the past, my photographs in the snow have never lived up to my expectations. Perhaps I'm expecting too much, or perhaps it's subject matter that I have little experience with and need more time to feel its moods and understand its detail. Perhaps with a few more years of experience I might even publish "Andrews Feeling for Snow!"

Here's my favourite image from Monday. To me it shows that life can still survive and has the beauty of a thick, almost featureless, blanket contrasting against the darker detail-rich protrusions.

Those more familiar with snow than I would have know to spread the tripod legs wide, almost flat on the snow. But until I thought of that, I sat on the snow and hand-held the camera.
