It snowed today. So I thought I would take a few photos of the snow. I took a couple of macro ones as well, and … well, they weren’t brilliant but this one was the best of the macros. I’ve really got to work on them. This time it had nothing to do with the heat or anything like that as this was immediately outside my front door. Just down to my inexperience with macros.

Alastair, this is just great. I love the silvery look
Thank you Celestine š
I just wrote a post mentioning the whole macro vs. kit lens thing. Sometimes it would be nice to have the more powerful lens.
Yes, I saw that. It would be. Sometimes I wish I had a higher that 200 lens as well.
Ah-h-h! The crystals of winter š
The c-c-c-cold crystals lol
Love this. You can see the little crystalization of the snow!
Thanks Rachel. It was the best of them all. although I’m still not overly happy with it. I think maybe I should have used a lesser macro lens. May have the opportunity to try tomorrow š
I remember your post that had another snow fall……..I think. This one is pretty too.
Last time it snowed was February or March last year. I did one with frost
I was not around then. lol
Maybe I should check my comments
OR somebody else’s comments. š
The frost was a couple of weeks ago
Oh cool. Sounds like it could be fun. Have you seen the Cheat Sheets I posted last year? Not sure if they would help at all.
Very beautiful picture! Sounds like a brilliant crystal embroidery! Thank you for sharing!
Have a wonderful evening, Alastair and many blessings! š
Thank you Stefania š
I’m so jealous! It snowed in the UK, it snowed in Berlin, it snowed in the US Northeast. I want one more snow so I can practice what I learned in my photography class on Monday night! š
oooh what did you learn in your photography class?
The biggest things were:
1) Getting my sorry self out of shooting in auto. It just FINALLY clicked this time in my little, blonde head.
2) (and here’s where the snow enters stage left) How to override middle grey by spot centering so that snow is white and blacks are blacks and not the middle grey average of the whole frame.
I’m also taking an online class this year that meets once a month online. It starts today. I’m SOOOOO excited!
