Photo Of The Day by Jeanne Frasse
Windsor Lake by Jeanne Frasse
Jeanne Frasse’s photo of Windsor Lake in Colorado wins today’s Photo of The Day. She submitted the photo to the Black & White Special Issue Assignment which is open until May 7th. Windsor Lake is in the Mt Massive Wilderness and it’s a bit of a hike to get there which reduces the number of visitors since the vast majority of people visiting wilderness areas never venture more than 25 yards from a road or parking lot. The photo makes use of black and white’s ability to show detail crisply. In color the cracking grain in the fallen log in the foreground and the stands of pine trees on the mountainside in the background would be more muted and the overall image wouldn’t have the same impact.
Frasse used a Canon EOS 30D with a Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 lens.
