Whiteout - Tree in a prairie blizzard Canvas Print

Whiteout"
I captured this image a couple miles south of Stoughton on 1/26/19 from the warm comfort of my car, poking a long 300mm lens out window (it was about 0°F outside). This is a composite panorama of two horizontal images (needed to capture the "symmetry trees" on either side), looking through a lot of snow between me and the tree which was at least 1/2 mile away, so the image becomes very soft, but still has very high resolution.. I liked the symmetry of the image, and the stark simplicity and balance.

Peter Herman was born and raised on a farm in North Dakota. He first became interested in photography during high-school, and after acquiring a Pentax SLR, began taking photos for the school yearbook and developing/printing B&W images in school darkroom. He continued shooting through college, taking portraits, group pictures, weddings, but after beginning his engineering career at Cummins, he let his photography interests go dormant until about 2005 when he acquired his first DSLR and started shooting scenic landscapes from around the US, but concentrating especially on rural areas in ND and WI. Many of his images were encountered while riding motorcycle down random backroads during "golden hour", searching for that magic light...
