I am sure we have all had the experience of taking a photograph that has exceeded our expectations or intentions. This picture belongs to just such a category. During the recent snowy weather I sat watching the flakes gust against the window pane and saw them slowly accumulate along the lower edge. I recognised the potential for a photograph but little expected to capture this polar landscape. Afterall, the area photographed was approximately 6 inches x 3 inches.
It really does play with scale – I always like that idea. Wonderful!
I think scale was the crucial element. I found the experience quite awe-inspiring.
The ‘confused’ scale here is great. I also like the colours; they work really well with the texture and contrast.
Thanks Noeline. I obviously played with the blue background. Although I’ve suggested a comparison with a polar landscape my instinctive connection was with a scene from outer space.
