Snowflake
This is my first attempt at doing macrophotography of a snowflake. It's not an easy thing to do.
Setup:
Sport glove, left out in the cold for 10 min
Canon 5D III
Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 L lens
Canon twin flash
What I learned:
Snowflakes are tiny!
I need to get an extension tube to get closer to a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio next time.
My fingers get cold when working in subfreezing temps.....

Snow study
From the old jalopy at Glacier Ridge Metro Park. We've had snow three weekends in a row. This is from January 26, 2013. The tires of the jalopy had a lovely blanket of snow for a detail shot.

ICM. Snowy Day
Intentional Camera Movement; vertical pan. 1/20 f22 ISO 200 35 mm
Last weekend's excursion to Sharon Woods. We've been having such strange winter weather this year. We've had snow for the past three weekends, but temps have been in the 60's for part of each of the last two weeks. So, we get some snow, then it rains, then the sun melts it all away, and then the cycle begins again. Weird.

ICM. In the woods on a snowy day
Steve and I walked at Sharon Woods yesterday morning. It was lovely there with the snow in the woods. We saw some great birds along the way: Eastern Towhee, Tufted Titmouse, Downey Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Northern Cardinal, Carolina Chickadee, Dark-eyed Junco, Song Sparrow, House Sparrow, Blue Jay, and a Barred Owl in flight.

Winter
We had a bit of snow yesterday. This morning, Steve and I went to Glacier Ridge Metro Park. I was intrigued by the beech leaves cradling these little pockets of snow.

Waterman Farm
December 29, 2012 - a stroll at night on Waterman Farm. The snow was beautiful, and it was so peaceful to be out at night to visit this spot. The view is of the eastern edge of Upper Arlington. We live just a few blocks from the edge of the farm, and I'm always glad to have a chance to walk here. It's a bit of nature surrounded by a big city.

ICM: my foggy street
We had a severe fog warning for this morning, which is always a good excuse to be out an about with a camera. This is my street, interpreted by intentional camera movement impressionism.

Snow flowers
Dec 29, 2012 - I love how the snow changes the garden landscape. This is a clump of Crassula, which during the autumn has lovely pink flowers. The spent inflorescences are now platforms for snow....
