Winter photography

[Diamond Lil]

The season will be upon us soon and it can present it's own challenges.

Anyone up for a discussion?

[pegdragger]

I tend to hibernate during the winter. I do like to play with my studio lights and we try to have meetings with the photo group and work on classroom like discussions and demonstrations. We work on things like Composition, Getting to know your camera, Lighting, and other topics important to those learning their way into photography. I can't take all the credit, as Angela (angbrey) usually does most of the talking, and I help out with the techniques.

Well last winter was a bust for sure. I had a new 4X4 and was all ready-- nothing doing- no snow, :( Things may be different this winter, but now I don't know how laid up I will be with my shoulder. :( HERE IS ONE FORM A COUPLE YEARS AGO. :)

Didn't you hear....they cancelled Winter this year, we missed summer so they rescheduled in Winter's slot....sorry!!;)

[Kodatech]

I can't WAIT to take some winter pictures...that is, if we get some snow this year. I REALLY want to hike to a frozen waterfall or two and try out some shots there.

[J. R. Weems]

Well they are calling for snow here. They keep changing the forecast-- NOT a good sign. Storms from the South, fronts from the West and Cold blowing in from the North. This combination has spelled disaster more than once in the last 45 years around here. :( :D

[LunaTique]

I take the dogs for hikes almost every day and I never go anywhere without my camera.

Anyone up for a discussion?

Yes. I hate winter. End of discussion.

[Vrod-Brad]

Yes. I hate winter. End of discussion.

I'm with you... I believe a "I hate Winter" thread is in order. But, all of your photos make me enjoy looking at it! This webcam from the hotel in Aruba pretty much states where my head is at..

How could you not want to be there? It is gorgeous! And warm. Warm is good. LOL.

[J. R. Weems]

Well, the last 5 inches is almost gone, but it is now snowing for real-- calling for ICE on top if it in the early AM. A bad combination . hope I don't lose any more trees. :(

[Diamond Lil]

We are in a winter storm warning with our first dose of accumulating snow on the way....

[EZE RIDER]

The warm Atlantic waters are preventing snow here but there is supposed to be alot of rain. Flashflood warnings and high wind alerts. You guys have a headstart on me. Have fun......

[echo3]

Lots of snow...ice...then rain :mad: expected here!

[pegdragger]

We are supposed to get 2-5 inches then it may change over to rain or freezing rain and sleet.

OMG...did we get snow!!!! Now I better leave early for work early, I have no idea what to expect out there! Kids are off from school....whoohoo!

I think you're all teases on here....nice pic Brad! :rolleyes:

[pegdragger]

We were forecast to get 2 to 5 inches, but we ended up with 8.

[Vrod-Brad]

Thanks all and I hate to keep repeating myself but, this is really my favorite Winter photo...

[Heavens Thunder]

Nice Beach Brad and Angbrey a cool Bench !

[pegdragger]

Don't forget to mention that the bench is currently on display at the library with the rest of the group.

[Diamond Lil]

There is something about a solitary bench, but the snow and ice makes it feel even more so alone.

[Vrod-Brad]

Great bench - makes me NOT want to sit on it :)

Beautiful shots Jeff but if you dont stop rubbing it in I'm gonna come down there and throw a snowball at you. :rofl:

[Diamond Lil]

Hey Jeff, he's right about them being nice shots, but beware, he has a lot of snow down here. :laugh

[LunaTique]

Great waterfront pictures.

I feel warmer already even with an overcast sky
