A VEIL OF SNOW


Nikon D300s, Nikkor 24-120mm / f4; 1/45 s, f/8, ISO200

While I’m writing this blog post the states in the northeast of the US face “Juno”, a big snow storm. We had some new snow this morning as well but it was a pleasure to watch it. For a little while it came down pretty hard and the light was kinda ethereal. I tried to catch the intensity of the snow fall and the light but I don’t think I have the photo nailed yet. Several shots with different shutter speeds were made and some worked better than others. A Mourning Dove sat almost motionless during this heavy snow fall on a branch, and even if hidden behind a veil of snow, it gives the eye some anchor in this pattern of trees and snow trails.

Winter Wonderland


 

This is how the morning greeted us today. Before I swung the snow shovel for a couple hours I had. to make a few clicks from the balcony of our house. It was the wonderful pattern the snow had created in our trees that I was after. As Joan always says with a twinkle in her eyes…”Ich liebe Winter!!”… ;-)
