Fields of Snow

Last Sunday, we finally got some snow.  It didn't start snowing until 12.00pm, but by 1.00pm there was a good covering.  So, I pulled on the winter hill gear, grabbed the Olympus and headed out over the fields. I only had a few hours of daylight left.  Luckily, a year of walking these fields meant that I knew exactly where I wanted to go and how to get there with the paths no longer visible.  It kept snowing lightly all afternoon and keeping the lens clean of snow was a constant problem.  I had to delete more than half the images I took because of snow spots.  However, I did get some shots I am very pleased with.

 

Frozen Flowers

There has been a camera club project for January on the theme of 'frozen'.  One suggestion was taking photos of frozen flowers.  I gave this a go during Lockdown 1, but didn't post the images back then as I wasn't that happy with them.  But, for the sake of club spirit, and because the blog has been a little sparse lately, here are some of the better ones.  I do plan give this another go sometime soon.  Hopefully next time I can get less bubbles in the ice.

Creative Flooding

The Riverside Park was flooded again last weekend.  The third or fourth time this winter.  Like lock-downs or corporate re-brandings, I soon loose count at the the first couple.  Lacking the fog of the last one, I decided to try and be a little creative, with in-camera double exposure and and intentional camera movement.
