Minimalist Photography: Pinecone

I tried a different format of photography, minimalist photography. I spotted a lone pinecone in the snow with the sun light exploding jewels on the snow...I had to try and capture.

Again I am using my EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, taking macro shots.

Icicle

I am so happy to be able to play again with my photography. I noticed icicles hanging from the roof and I wanted to try an shoot. I tried handhold, it did not work...I really have a hard time holding my camera steady for macro shots..I used my 70-200 f/2.8L, to take a closer photo of the icicle.

I set up my tripod but still could not obtain a clear/sharp shot through the window..I kept trying without success.

Finally I decided to take out the screen, the screen is inside, opened the window and shot. It was challenge and I was determined!!! SUCCESS!!!

Sun Breaking Through

While out running errands, I found a beautiful scene, the sun coming out from an overcast setting. Naturally I grabbed my camera and took a few shots.

Kancamagus Scenic Byway January, 2012

Pull Off

Rocky Gorge In Winter

Albany Covered Bridge

Last weekend I took a ride on Kancamagus Scenic Byway not sure what I would find, we have the lack of snow this year.  The lack of snow allowed me to pull into a couple of the waterfalls and Albany Covered Bridge.  Usually this time of year we would a few feet of snow and the access for me would have been impossible.

What excited me, I was able to photograph winter scenes of this area for the very first time.
