Turning Color into Cold

The changing of seasons from autumn to winter is a beautiful thing. If you're a photographer in Memphis, it's the opportunity of the year! Memphis boasts some of the most picturesque late fall and early winter settings anywhere! Capture Memphis photographers captured Memphis through November and December in amazing ways. From sunsets and sunrises to delicate snowflakes, this showcase is all about the way Memphis looks as we move from fall to winter. Settle in with a hot cup of tea (or cocoa) and enjoy Memphis through the eyes of Memphis photographers as hand-picked by our editors.

November is the perfect time to capture a dramatic Memphis sunrises and sunset. We asked Capture Memphis photographers to brave the cold mornings and brisk evenings to get the perfect light. The results are stunning! Brenda Maddox captured the Editors' Choice for this challenge with her Reflections in the Fog photo (above). The entire top 8 is full of fantastic shots. What a great effort from everyone!

We love Rebecca's style, especially when she stops down her lens and gives us delicate depth of field. She's got an eye for framing as well. Take a look at her photos and you'll see why we showcased her talents for the Color Turns to Cold Showcase.

Wooden Army by Patricia Spaulding

Wooden Army

This is just a small peek into my ever-growing nutcracker collection. I received the first one when I was 10 years old after dancing at The Orpheum in The Nutcracker Ballet. Every year, Sana brings me at least one more. My wooden army is up to 73 now. Nuts beware...
