It having snowed the evening beforehand, I travelled into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, for my first shoot of the new year, and my first ever snow-shoot. The thermometer read 18 F (-7.8 C); relative temperature (or “feels like”) was 6 F (-14 C). It definitely was brisk but a good learning experience shooting snow.

"Three shapes of water." Canon 30D with Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L lens. f8 for 1/13 second at ISO 100.

"Ice balls and tites." Canon 30D with Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L lens. f8 for 1/30 second at ISO 100.

"Roaring Fork bridge." Canon 30D with Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L lens. f13 for 1/6 second at ISO 100.

"Slick bridge." Canon 7D with Canon EF-S10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. f11 for 1/80 second at ISO 640 (handheld).
Very cool results with the low iso and long exposure time. Brave soul shooting in the cold!
These are amazing Andyroo!!!!
Thanks a bunch Cayla – did I mention it was bloody cold? So at the first river part I decided to shoot, after a slippery descent, I managed to fill my rubber boots with freezing cold water. Ouch. Made for numb toes for the rest of the shoot.
simply amazing!! my fave is fourth down- abstract of water droplets on moss- so lovely!!
Thanks Peggy – that image is very popular. Glad you are enjoying my photo’s 🙂
