Snow day

Posted by Philip in Gallery

Whenever the forecast calls for snow, I’m the first to say, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” Last night we started getting some flurries and I told Drema that if we were going to have any accumulation I was going to get up at the crack of dawn and take some pictures.  Well we got around 3 inches and I was out as the sun was coming up and took some pictures.  I got a few really nice shots that I’d like to share.  All of these shots were taken using a polarizing filter.  Mainly to cut down on glare and to give the morning sky the bright blue.  I had the camera set in Aperture priority mode.  There was plenty of light so for the bulk of these photos I set it to f8.0  and the ISO to 100 so I could have the sharpest images.

Of course, no snow day would be complete without some pictures of the kids in the snow. No polarizing filter for these shots.
