This much I know

Dec

2009

Day 3 of The Big Freeze in the UK. I’ve taken around 1,000 photos of which pretty much none are anything special. Why is snow so hard to capture? Quite apart from getting the white balance right, I’m drawn to trying to getting the ‘whole’ to get the scale of how much snow we have. But none of the shots seem to be anything other than a big load of white. Perhaps the idea is to capture the details? Answers on a postcard please.

I used the above shot for my 365 project yesterday. Thank goodness the end of the year is in sight, I’m staggering along to the end totally devoid of inspiration and am reduced to taking photos of my washing line. Shoot me…shoot me now…but please be sure to use a Nikon. I thank you.

This is a fantastic photo, Spud. One wonders for a second if the ice on the right is ice or clouds. It’s so cool that there is snow everywhere, even in the UK. Here (Serbia) there is loads and it keeps snowing.

Am totally feeling your snow/cold pain and the idea of staggering along… A little Christmas should perk things up a bit! Here is hoping!

Oh I absolutely LOVE the new you! Jealousy abound here. That’s one thing I’m gonna work on while I’m away. I want newness. And me-ness.

I actually love the pic of the wash line. I love that you have one.

This one is beautiful! And made me feel bad about being a Canon girl! haha!
Kidding! I just adore cameras, no matter Canon or Nikon is it, sometimes Olympus makes me feel like a lucky angel!

Wish you the best of holidays!
