“Snow photos” that’s what i am usually doing during winter. Landscapes look completely different during this part of the year, it may surprise you even if you know given area really well:

Harumph! Me, I put all my photographic gear away in October, and find a nice warm cave where I sleep all winter. Its true I don’t get many pictures, in fact i don’t get any, but come spring I’m ready to get up and go.

I teach photography in New Jersey and since my class in High School is a year long I am always attempting to find winter projects. Here is one for making a Photo Cube. I added the images but I do not see them here. So if there is a blank space that is where I expected them to appear.

Activity – Create a 6 image Photo Cube.

Instructions:
1. Select 6 images that are somehow connected.
2. Adjust color if necessary to keep all images contrasting.
3. Select the first image to resize.
4. Crop and resize each image into a square.
a. Notice the Crop Option Bar has a place to enter Height and Width.
b. It should be empty.
c. If it is not empty click Clear
d. Enter number of inches in both Width and Height.
e. The number should be the same, probably 15.
f. This will create a square crop tool.
g. This allows only a square image to be selected.
h. You may make the square larger or smaller by moving the corner handle.
i. You may move the entire square by moving the mouse pointer to the center of the image and click and hold and move the selected area.
j. Hit enter after you have completed the selection.
k. Do a Save As and save your image with a new name.

5. Hit enter to confirm your crop.
6. Save each image into a folder on the share drive HS206.
7. Open a new Word document.
a. For each image use Insert > Picture > From File
b. Resize each image to 2” square.
i. Right click the image
ii. Click Format Picture
iii. Click Size
iv. Change Height to 2” (Note Width should change to a number that is very close to 2”)
8. Print image on special heavy index card stock.
9. Cut images to fit Photo Cube.
10. Glue lightly.

Here in Wisconsin we get buried in snow and frozen with cold. So, I was just having fun with shooting holiday decorations. Here’s an example of my latest shot.

Winter really is a great time to test out some of these techniques. Light painting is one I have yet to try. I love the snow photos option as well. I absolutely hate the cold weather, but I do love what winter brings to the landscape - especially the shore of Lake Michigan:

Snow shots. If this past week is any indication, we’ll be seeing a lot of it this winter.

Winter is tough, but not every photograph needs to have a blue sky.

I also agree with Brian, the macro lens is a always a great place to start.

Why are you all inside? OMG. GET OUT AND SHOOT!!! I lived in Anchorage for five winters, and now in NJ, and I do most of my shooting (at least the cool stuff) between late October, through April!

Some piddling around trying to make bad images look good. Stop it Go SHOOT something.

Stop wasting time!
