January 14: The color of snow

[neverspent]

I was experimenting with making some of my snow photos black and white because it's a good way to see the contrast, but some of the photos seemed to lose their soul when they lost their color. After a minute I realized, feeling silly: snow isn't black and white. When the sun is shining on it, especially when light is low... it's blue. Our brains process out the color and see "white" because we know snow is white.
