Good thing it's used to being beat up. Yesterday I took it out while it wasn't drizzling too much and tried to grab some cool ice shots. Everything was cracking around me, including our giant Chinese elm, as if guns were going off. I noticed one big branch fell on the barbed wire this morning.
The ice was gorgeous, but my lens kept fogging up or developing a scrim of ice around the edges. Sometimes the effect was satisfyingly smoky and old-fashioned looking; other times just a pain in the butt. Here's a few shots...
These are so nice - but I can't wait til you get to using your NEW camera!! :-) Luv, Mom

ReplyDeleteI'm SO happy for you!! i know you've wanted a new camera for a long time! those pictures are GORGEOUS. i love the smoke/frost...when stuff like that happens, embrace it! the world is alive, and when there's less control, it can be annoying, but it can also be beautiful.
