A few New Takes....

Well we finally got our first significant snow event of the season! The bad news is that on Sunday my birthday actually, I was going to get up early and get some snowscapes. This did not work out as I ended up in bed all day with the flu, which was a blast! Finally yesterday I was feeling better and it was a very nice day with mild temperatures, so I went down to the lighthouse, where else right! The tide was very low and made for some different shooting locations that you might not get because when the tide is up these areas are underwater. The sunset ended up being very good, I was more in pursuit of some long exposures, with an ND filter! Also a few other shoots on here from a few days before I got sick!

No Snow, Just Cold and Ice!

After our trace of snow one morning, there has been nothing more to show for it!  One thing that has been holding its own of late has been the cold nights and believe it or not days that don't hit the 50's for high temperatures!  With the period of cold weather we have experienced the Harbor has started to take on some ice in a few spots!  This always makes for nice mood shoots I think around boats and other things when the opportunities present themselves.  If we could get some snow to go with the cold that would be even better, for now though this will have to do!  One thing to note also is that looking ahead to the February full moon on the 7th of the month I believe will make for a good shoot with the lighthouse as it will be in a similar position to the super moon shoot I took.  What makes it work is the fact that the moon will rise at 5:12 PM, and the sunsets that day at 5:04 so it will just be dark enough to make for a great shoot!  As is the case with any moon shoot you need the weather to work so we will just have to wait and see!

First Snow!

Well it took a lot longer then it should have, but we finally got a little snow and I do mean little.  I went back to a spot down on Jericho road where some boats have been beached for the winter that made for a decent setting.  Then I went up to the Common where there was a few good takes!  I will try and get a few more on the site latter tonight!
