    Seasons Greetings

    December 4th, 2007 | →

    Here are a few images I took during a recent snow storm.  They are definitely indicative of the season. The last image was created by stitching together two images in photoshop.

     

    Snow covered rock at sunset

     

    The above image is taken using only natural light. The setting sun filtered through the trees and luckily cast shadows everywhere but on this rock. I particularly like the light at the bottom of the rock.

     

    Dried shrub covered in newly fallen snow

     

    The shrub above was captured from a nearly vertical position while handholding. A very shallow depth of field is all that was required so I was able to keep the shutter speed high enough to support hand holding. I generally try to avoid hand holding (except with my wife, of course) whenever possible.

     

    Blowing snow against distant trees

     

    In this image the snow was coming down very quickly and was composed of massive flakes (nearly the size of a quarter). The rock that was in the earlier image is also present here - minus the interesting sunlight.

     

    Snow atop a bird feeder

     

    A bird feeder with a snow cap. The forest green color of the bird feeder against the dappled greens and whites of the forest caught my attention.

     

    Snow Forest Panoramic

     

    As I mentioned above, this image is a merger of two adjacent images taken within a second or two of one another. Luckily the wind was still and there was not a tremendous difference in exposure levels between the two images.

    These images remind me of how cold it was on the day they were taken. Time for another cup of hot tea…
