Recently, I featured a winter landscape in this column. The image revealed the piercing red skeletal structure of a dogwood bush in winter; it was illuminated by on-camera flash, which set the red tones off against the backdrop of a frosty winter twilight sky. I’ve experimented with this technique before, but that image resonated with me, and I’ve been pursuing the technique and approach ever since.
