The joy of winter photography in Michigan is the very soft winter light as the sun sits low in the southern sky. The trade-off is a very cold nose and a biting wind that goes through multiple layers of clothing. The only post processing was a bit of cropping and exposure adjustment to better reflect the beautiful color my eyes saw. If I remember right I didn’t expose my body to the wind for this one, choosing to take this image out the truck window.

the light brings out the subtle colors and textures very well.

Yes, that is what caught my eye so I stopped to take a pic or two or three. I love the winter light close to the Solstice here in Michigan.

I also noticed the different quality of light during the winter, especially in early afternoon. Sometimes the air is incredibly crisp and clear, especially at sunrise.

My van is my source of comfort when out with my camera these days!

The colours and patterns in the wood panelling are so interesting!
I, too, sometimes opt for temperature controlled vehicles to take photos from – except ours is the blistering heat, not the cold!
