As promised, with the snow falling this weekend, I went on a photographing binge. It started a bit slow on Thanksgiving Day with some cooking action shots and pre-dinner table settings. Then as the snow fell friday night, things picked up as I fired off 200+ shots in the next 24 hours. Enjoy the story line.

We continued a year old tradition by frying a turkey. Deliciousness, cooked safely in the garage.

Hard to tell this would be the scene of a 6lb food massacre by myself. So beautifully set by Mom and Sam.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanksgiving Day festivities ended calmly, and as the snow started to fall friday night, I ventured out just as far as the porch would keep me covered. In retrospec, I should have gone out in the snow, and taken the majority of my tree shots at a different angle. That way I wouldn’t have had to scrap all the shots because of the neighbors house lights in the background. Thus, I settled on just putting up all the zoom while exposing shots. Really busied up the snow falling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next morning I awoke to a snow covered scenery, with no real motivation to go out and shoot it. Then it was pointed out to me that there was a pair of Bald Eagles sitting in the Audubon behind our house. I suited up, hopped the fence, and took the the telephoto lens for a stroll. I got into range where I had enough glass to get up close to the eagles and continued to shoot till they finally flew away.

On the hike back, I fired off some more shots of the winter wonderland as best I could with the telephoto.  I got some good shots.  I warmed this one up a bit to make it feel as though it was sunset, and not dull and freezing out. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also happened upon a fire hydrant. The color of it struck me and I still don’t think I did it justice. Enjoy.
