Crawford Notch, New Hampshire Ice Climbers

We took a ride to North Conway and the Notches looking for photo opportunities and to my surprise found ice climbers.  Our weather had been mild for a few days and I was not expecting to see ice climbing, figuring the ice might not be frozen enough for a climb. 

I admire the men and women who are in my opinion who adventurous and brave to climb a mountain covered with ice. Watching the climbers they take no chances and think out each move and appear to really enjoy their sport.

Winter Shots of New Hampshire Covered Bridge: Durgin Covered Bridge, Sandwich, NH

I enjoy returning each season to photography New Hampshire Covered Bridges, our treasures of  NH history.

If you are a Covered Bridge person, I would like to suggest purchasing an informative, beautiful DVD about the history of  covered bridges, my husband I really enjoy viewing and learning.  Covered Bridges Of New England created by Jim Karneichik and Mary Steele.

Cilleyville#16 Covered Bridge located in Andover - Winter

Cloned photo removal of the school bus, wires and houses.

Original photo with school bus, wires and houses

New Hampshire is know for 54 beautiful covered bridges, at one point in time we had 750 covered bridges.  TABLE OF CONTENTS - New Hampshire Covered Bridges

My husband Bob and I have traveled the state locating and photographing our covered bridges, when possible, different seasons of the year.

I took a photo of  Cilleyville#16 Covered Bridge located in Andover, a winter shot.  My original photo had a school bus, wires and houses.  I decided to clone out and make my shot an artistic winter photo.

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.

Cabin Fever: Look Outside During a Snow Storm

I took my image from inside our home, looking outside.  Sadly the front of the image, you will find  branches of a tree blocking my view.  But you get the idea how pretty our 10 inches (another front, will add a few more inches) looked today. 

February Winter Storm.....Snowbound

Today we are expecting 6 to12 inches of snow, again snowbound.  I took a photo looking outside through a window of my yard.  You can see an almost snow covered rustic bench and birdhouse.

Meredith's Bob Houses

Unfortunately I missed the Meredith Rotary Club Fishing Derby the week before do to a winter cold. I was hoping the unique bob houses were still on the lake.  The day I chose to visit, the temps were 59 degrees, the warm temps lasted one day and went back to freezing temps the next day. 

Winter Reflections

I stop often and photograph one of my favorite bog areas, located in Sanborton, NH.  My stop this time I found beautiful reflections and dramatic lighting.

Winter Scenery, Chance Pond Road, Franklin, NH

I have been under the weather with a winter cold, I am missing getting out and shooting. Before my cold I photographed one of my favorite local areas, Chance Pond Road. 

Snow Shoveling, Not A Walkway But Our Roof

We had our roof shoveled just in time.  Today we had, hail, rain and snow.  The weight of the wet snow could be a real problem.  I have not notice so many roofs shoveled until this year.

January 12, 2011 Snow Storm: Taken from the Inside Of The House

I  Used Nik's Solarization Application

We received I would guess about 14 inches of snow finally. I am crazy, I know we just came inside after snow blowing and shovel, the snow is beautiful.

I took a couple of images from inside the house and did a little playing. The photo were take from the lower level of the house ground level looking up.

I used a Nik Solarization application on my one image.

January's First Photo: Winter's Sunset in Laconia, NH

I was a little under the weather for the last few weeks.  FINALLY  I was able to get out and do a little shooting.  Took pictures of a beautiful sunset in Laconia, NH.

East Coast Blizzard December, 2010

New Hampshire was not hit as badly as New York and New Jersey, we received about 12 inches, including high winds.


I tried capturing the wind gust and swirling snow. I added a photo of Bob snow blowing the snow during a beautiful winter sunset.

Bog Area on Rt. 104, New Hampton, NH

One of my favorite spots I like stopping and photographing is a bog area in North Hampton. I try shooting every season, depending on the light when in the area.

Using my new point and shoot, Canon's G11 (learning how to use) I gave it a try and this is what I took...not bad for a point and shoot.

Lake Winnisquam Starting To Ice Over

Heading out shopping I passed Lake Winnisquam and notice the lake is starting to ice over.  Winter has arrived in the Lakes Region of NH. 

2010 February Winter Storm

The east coast had another winter storm. In our area we received only 6 inches of snow turning to sleet, other areas either received rain or a foot snow. I managed to capture a shot before the sleet turned the snow into an ugly mess.
