You may have noticed the recent snowfall, while everyone got excited by this all I could think about was last January when it caused havoc and everyone grew to hate it ... surprise surprise look where things are heading.
Anyway, it does create some brilliant photography opportunities (in my eyes mainly icicles) so here’s a couple I took from a trip to my garden, I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to go further for better subjects but haven’t even nearly had the time and I am seriously limited due to my car being to low to move on the roads in their current state. There will no doubt be another snowy blog update, until then here’s what I have so far...
In my opinion the key to photographing ice or icicles is making them appear as pure and clean as possible, shooting them against the sky is good for this and boosting the contrast of them in Photoshop helps a lot in achieving this, making them look like glass. Using a large aperture for a shallow depth of field also goes a long way depending on the specific photo.
