Off-season for scarecrows

I met this chap on a short walk in the outskirts, where I live. There are some vast fields around here, and this gentleman stood at one of them. To get out to him, I had to paddle a few hundreds of metres in deep snow. Already at distance, he appeared very prominent –  seemed to own all the fields around here. While approaching him with my camera in hand, he made it very clear from what angle he looked best, and that I’d better obey. What a grumpy scarecrow, I thought. I would have chosen that angle anyway, without telling me in that tone. Must be the season. He seemed to have gained lots of weight, too.

    Ove, he resembles an Alien around the eyes. Be careful and don’t get “beamed up!” ;-)

    I don’t think I have ever seen a zombie snowman, but this could be the first!

    I really like the multiple images, like a small study of the subject. My friend, you must be an expert by now in adjusting the exposure for all that white.

    Haha, oh yes, I have had plenty of time to adjust the exposure. I would do fine on a polar expeditions after this winter.

  • Welcome to my blog about this and that – ditt & datt in Swedish. The topics you'll find here are not always that general, though. You wont find anything on football, for instance. Moreover, all the light will most often be on photographs I made. In fact, if I tell something I find worthwhile telling, I usually stick a few of my photographs to the story. You could almost say this is about photography, and in a way you're right, it is. But it is also about what I see.
