2 - The Snow is Here to Stay

It's going to be here for months! It's piling up. I remember when I was younger, it seemed that snow fell around Halloween and stayed until April. At least this year the big piles of snow didn't come until December. This is when I start to think global climate change might not be such a bad thing for Minnesota. Except for the fact that the farms get flooded in the summers, the region experiences draughts and killer tornadoes become regular occurrences. OK, so maybe global climate change isn't good. I'll take the snow because right now it's beautiful!

ETA: The whole point of this project is to improve upon my photography, not only in terms of composition, but also processing. And also to better know my camera. Making the switch to digital has been tough for me because of all the variables.

Big difference in the processing of these two photos, no?
