Default Natures Beauty

We have had a freezing fog going on for a couple days and it put a nice effect on the trees around these parts. Couldn't resist attempting to capture the beauty. The first 2 shot I used Tungsten WB.

AWESOME! Those shots are gorgeous - looks like the winter western version of Spanish moss. Thanks for sharing, Duane.

Great shots - gives me something to try out - well maybe not as I doubt we get any freezing fog or snow here. But I do now see what can happen when the WB is adjusted. Thanks!
