Theme: Snow & Ice: Winter Photography

Whether it’s icicles hanging from the garage or icebergs in Antarctica, snow covered mountains or snowballs in the face, sun on the snow or a snow-covered Buick… 1650 wants images of your world of winter! The haunting and ethereal beauty of snow and ice is a rite of passage and a grand artistic test for photographers. It challenges their skill in judging exposure and contrast, and it tests their prowess in printing a palette of gleaming whites that dazzles the senses. Those who dare to meet the challenges of the harsh winter elements can be rewarded with one-of-a-kind photographs that are unique and breathlessly beautiful.
