Default Foggy Ice

Yesterday morning, we had freezing fog. It was not dangerous like freezing rain, but it was beautiful! A friend called me and advised me to grab my camera and head out. She was right and I'm glad she called.

Frosty Pine

Ice Spike
These incredible spikes, are actually a result of the freezing fog and not spikes on the bush.

Jump 2 (4X6)
Here, I had a little fun with the zoom. I cranked the f-stop down to F22. This allowed for a shutter speed of 1/10th of a seccond. This in turn allowed me to crank the zoom back in as I released the shutter.

Off The Rail
This area is an abandoned rail line. The tracks were torn up and discarded. I saw an opportunity for shutter art.

Have a great remainder of the week.

Great set. Good dof. The zoom effect on the tree shot is pretty cool. The first two are my faves.
