my home,” recalls photographer Penny Meyers. “I came
upon this beaver sitting on the snow-covered ice near the
edge of a pond. I watched for about an hour as it occasion-
ally dove through a hole in the ice to retrieve twigs and roots
and then sit in the snow to enjoy the fruits of its labor.
“The light wasn’t ideal. The small mound of snow in the
foreground was in sunlight, but the beaver was in shade. I
took several shots using different exposures and ultimately
chose to completely overexpose the snow in order to
capture more detail in the beaver’s coat, creating a clean
high-key image.”
