Throughout winter break, since I woke up late in the day, the early sunset
forced me to venture on photography expeditions for a shorter period of time than
I would have liked early in the afternoon. While meandering around the Crow Island
Woods at dusk looking for interesting small plants interacting with snow to photograph
with my macro-lens filter, I spotted a gnarled vine raised several inches from the snowy
ground cover. From an aerial view, its muddy color stood out against the alabaster
background and produced a minimalist and natural arabesque similar to a third
style Roman wall painting (I'm taking a History of Art class).
Snowy nature is perfect for macro-photography. The color and texture of the snow
alters small details in nature so singling in on plants can capture a microscopic artistic
transformation as the plant conflicts with the precipitation.
