The first winter with my Rebel T1i was the one with the giant snowstorm.
I wandered around Winnetka before it got dark, and everything had
a layer of snow that gave it a picturesque, untouched look--especially
in the forest next to the Skokie Lagoons. I trudged through the pathless
tundra for around an hour taking pictures of deer and icy snow on plants.
I took these pictures two years ago, and I'm surprised both by how nice they
look and by how my style has changed since then. Back then I didn't
even know how to use "manual mode", and yet I was still able to achieve
a visual language of nature in isolation. It's odd that although I remember
taking these photos, I don't remember looking at them until now.
I like rediscovering my old nature photographs.
