Winter Without Snow

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 6 January 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

Our winters (near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) are mostly without the added beauty of snow or ice. The warm color is from the sun setting. This is a photo of part of the meadow and woods on our 15 acres.

*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Nice lighting on the trees - with all that land you must have plenty to take pictures of. One good thing about winter is that the sunsets happen earlier in the day (although I have a tough time getting home from work in time to capture them).

Lack of snow is sometimes welcome here where I live. I have had only 1 Christmas without snow. Neadless to say we have snow this year.

Great shot and light, Anita. Personally, I can do without the snow and the ice...and the cold and the dreary weatherand the short days. :) Basically if winter was just like summer, that would be ideal.

Well, I'll put in a vote for enjoying snowy days. But, this photo is a wonderful addition to the portfolio of winter scenes, which are dominated by black on white, or stark browns and greys.
