Michelle's Snow-Day Photos

I took the new camera out for a try in the snowstorm. It was much more difficult than I expected. I'll need some practice in warmer, drier weather before I'll be really ready for the challenge of photographing snow.

  1. Your photos are just great! We are fortunate to have an overhang where I can stand outside and get part of our yard without getting snowed or rained on!

  2. I learned that a large camera is much more unwieldy in the snow, because I couldn't shove it in my pocket in between shots! My fingers froze quickly, and the camera was getting wet.

  4. What beautiful pictures you took!

    Especially I love last one picture. What a very mysterious!!

    I would like to recommend you to use a tripod for preventing a camera shake, when you photograph with a macro lens on a high end camera.
