It seems counter-intuitive to take a sunrise shot in black and white, rather than colour, but it’s always good to experiment.
Seeing things in a different way is what can make a photograph stand out, after all. Black and white is great for stripping a photograph back to simplicity. What do you think?
Anston Stones
As the snow bids farewell we are left with the promise of Spring. I may not miss the winter (when it does finally pass) but I will miss the amazing sunrises and skies it has given us.
With the snow and ice thawing (thankfully) I decided to chance getting the car out. There was a blanket of mist this morning down Anston Stones, adding a ghostly sheen to the skyline.
This area of land has been rebranded as the ‘Dinnington community woodland’ but for local people who grew up in the 80s and earlier it’s still known colloquially as the “Pit Top.” Dinnington pit officially closed in 1991.
The sky was on fire today 🙂
I’ve technically had two photos of the day today, but this shot was simply too stunning not to share 🙂
We are still very much in Winter’s grip in Sheffield. Temperatures of -4 meant that driving in the village is still quite dangerous with many B roads impassable. I decided to ditch the car and take a steady walk down Anston Stones with a friend and the dogs.
Winter continues to deliver stunning sunrises. The snow appears to have transformed into ice crystals that scrunch underfoot. It feels like walking in Narnia!
Still, as much as I enjoy snowscapes, I think we are all ready for some warmer weather now here in the UK.
Stay warm 🙂
