You know you’re a photographer when…
A few weeks ago while visiting friends during the end of the snow storm we received here, we were all quietly sitting and chatting and looking at the snow fall outside. My wife mentioned how she was getting sick of this snow and hoped that it didn’t continue for long.
I was about to answer her when I noticed something interesting on the tree outside. The drops on the tree seemed to be glistening and it looked like prime drop territory! Luckily I had brought all of my equipment so I put on my macro lens and went outside to take some shots!
I could tell as I was taking the shots that I was mistaken. I had thought there was potential for an award winning shot there but the situation wasn’t as good as I had hoped for. Because the limbs were rather far apart, I got a black background instead of a lighter one. It was not possible to use a tripod this close in so I finished taking some shots and went back inside.
I wasn’t too bummed though, as it was fun taking shots for a bit, and as long as I could take ice melting shots, I was fine with whatever amount of snow came our way.
