Icy and Wide
Today I was running errands and on my way to the grocery store when I took note of the scenery that was starting to look pretty darn good in terms of photography. I hurried through the store and home as quick as I could, to change my clothes and grab the camera and head back out to the lakeside in hopes of capturing the sunset.
If you have payed any attention to the camera and lens details on my outdoorsy photography posts, you might have noticed I use almost exclusively the Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 lens, even though I have the wider version of the lens too. This time I thought you'd appreciate the wider view, from 18 to 35mm.
I was about 15 minutes too late for my photo excursion and missed the best colours and it got dark really fast. I was also missing my big boy lens, I just feel way more comfortable with it, but could have been worse. I did manage to capture a little something icy.
It was a real struggle to walk because most of the walkways and yards were just as icy as the lake surface. And no, I did not go on the lake, the ice isn't solid enough for that yet, gotta give it a few days.
I'm hoping there conditions last for a few days so I can do another take with the big boy lens and more time.
The wider view and a little darker makes it look so cold and silent.
Like... it probably is! :D
I hope there was a warm drink at home after this.
the bottom shot?
Is that a little bit of a long exposure?
it would look amazing on a still night, with about 15 second, 30 second exposure.
beautiful photography
Ei auta, 5 minuuttiakin on aina liian pitkä aika. Tähän aikaan vuodesta se kamera pitää olla aina mukana. Tai aina siis pitää, mutta nyt varsinkin.
Siitä huolimatta sait hyviä otoksia. :)
Mulla tulee aina tähän aikaan vuodesta mieleen se pikkukakkosen varokaa heikkoa jäätä spotti. Mainos. Mikä onkaan. Piirretty kuitenkin.
Jep mutta kun on laiska ettei jaksa raahata rinkkaa mukana jos ei varmaks tiiä että on menossa kuvailee.
Vieläköhän se pyörii? Se on hieno opettavainen pätkä, toimii vieläkin!
Sepä se juuri. Ja jos ottaa jotain vaan mukaan niin on aina väärät kamat.
Emt. vieläkö luottavat siihen samaan varoituspiirrettyyn. Siitä on niin kauan kun olen viimeksi tahallaan kääntänyt kanavan lastenohjelmien puolelle oikeaan aikaan enkä ole törmännyt siihen vahingossa. Mutta hyvin tosiaan toimii kun on näin perusteellisesti jäänyt mun päähän.
Cold and silent, I love that.
