Unreality

#blackandwhite #monochrome #fog #forest #photography

Black and white photograph of a forest of leafless birches and evergreens on one side of a hill, with snow on the forest floor and low fog right in the middle. A light spiral filter was applied on the picture, creating a torsion in the fog and bending some trees.

I've been looking at this picture for weeks, unsatisfied and not knowing what I would do with it. I woke up too early this morning, feeling like reality is distorted and bent under human will. This picture is still real but has something wrong, like it might break.

Path

#fotomontag #monochrome #blackandwhite #forest #winter #photography

Black and white photograph of a snowshoe trail in the forest, passing between two rows of neatly planted spruce trees, almost creating a tunnel. The sun is filtering through the branches. Let's imagine an allegory on life as the path is very straight but the destination quite unclear, the other end of the tunnel being blocked by the branches.

“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
― Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder

I keep walking to that same spot at the edge of the field, knowing exactly where to stand in those few meters and waiting at the last moment to turn my head to the right, knowing exactly what I will see. And yet the view is amazing every time. I have dozens of roughly similar photos of this wave of trees but which are also unique depending on the seasons, the light and the activities in the field. I love to travel and see new landscapes but I also agree with Rachel Carson: there is something extremely reassuring and calming about repetition and consistency, not only in nature, but in photography and life.

The "Wave" in May, July, October 2024 and February 2025.

Order and disorder

#blackandwhite #monochrome #winter #forest #photography

Black and white photograph of a plantation of trees seen from the road, with almost identical trees growing very vertically and orderly at equal distance and a bunch of them half fallen, making diagonal lines in the middle, for a touch of disorder.

Trail

#photography #winter #snow #quebec #forest

Photograph of a simple winter landscape, with a snow white field at the bottom, a blue sky with white clouds on top, and leafless and brown trees advancing in the snow from the right. A snowmobile trail is crossing the field from left to right.

Pole overexposure

#monochrome #blackandwhite #noiretblanc #forest #quebec #winter #photography

Black and white photograph of a power line with "T" poles along a rural road, going down through forest and snow fields.

Tough day for photography. Strong wind, snow and sun in teary eyes, I couldn't see what I was doing. I thought those were not that good but on second thought I like them like that.

The "Wave" update : Between seasons

Or is it all the seasons in one? Blue, white, green and some orange and brown. Bonus : There's a hidden deer.

#wavywednesday #photography #seasons #spring #nature #forest #repetition #quebec

Photograph of a hilly green field, partially covered by white snow, and bordered by a forest of leafless trees and green conifers, coming like a wave from the left of the picture, under a pale blue sky with discreet horizontal white clouds.

There's a deer hidden in the photo, right in the middle at the edge of the field, very close to the forest, brown against green.

Trump Said Cuts Wouldn’t Affect Public Safety. Then He Fired Hundreds of Workers Who Help Fight Wildfires.
—

The White House and DOGE have sought to eliminate thousands of jobs from the Forest Service. The wildland firefighting force is one of many targets within the agency.
