Another winter blast

Today reminded me that there’s plenty of winter left, though I’d definitely take snowstorms over your average, gray winter day.

When I woke up this morning, a few inches had already fallen, and since the snow was pretty wet it stuck to all the trees, filling my property with scores of white, twiggy knots of snow-caked branches. I ended up taking a walk through the acre of woods I have next to my house, which has seen a lot of its tress fall down this windy winter, to snap a few photos of the snow on the branches.

I figured I’d share them with you.

Enjoy.

Same winter, different camera

So here it is, my first batch of taken with my new Nikon D5000 DSLR digital camera. I’m still learning how to use it, specifically how to tweak ISO, shutter speed and aperture to make photos better. It’s still over my head, but luckily I’ve been visiting Digital Photography School for tips, a great website for novice photographers such as myself.

For this first group I decide to take more photographs of the snowy winter scenery on my property. I experimented with landscapes from afar in addition to a few up-close macro shots. of the snow-laden branches and shrived red berries hanging on the vines.

There’s a very clean feeling I get from the photos this camera takes, they’re not as grainy as the ones from my point-and-shoot Canon. But as for a deeper analysis, I need to learn more before I can make one.

In the meantime, enjoy these photos. There are some great ones of the small barn on my property.
