Backyard Snow

This is one of my favorite shots from yesterday. And thankfully there are many that I really like, which I’ll make use of. And apparently the cold and snow didn’t kill my cameras, which was amazing. And fortunate for me because a new camera is not in the budget. I took the chance and it paid off in great photos, and I get to shoot more stuff another day.

The Adventure of it All

The snow fell and, on contact with the camera, started to melt. I was constantly wiping it off, and trying to cover it with my hand. When I wasn’t using a camera, I stuck it inside my jacket to protect it. I just couldn’t stop shooting.

I switched between two cameras, my still shot camera , the Fuji FinePix 5200 and the video camera, JVC Everio. It was a lot of fun.

Now, I’ve heard that it may be fun for us (my mom and brother, nephew and niece had fun in it too) because we don’t get a lot of snow. I can’t say. All I know is I had a blast. And the next time it snows, if health and time permit, I’ll be out in it again. Although, I may try to see some other places too instead of staying at home.

Once I figure out how to adjust the size of my photos, I will be able to post more directly from my Flickr account. Sometimes, I’d really like for the photos to take up the full width of my post column. Until I figure that out, I’ll just set the size using my Corel® software.

    Looks awesome, you don’t often see palm trees in the snow. I have a JVC Everio but don’t like the proprietary software and .MOD file types, although when I do get around to converting the image is excellent. I shoot stills with a Canon 400D, lately I’ve been lazy and leave it on automatic!

    It’s rare that it snows here. Certainly not so much. And while it’s lovely at the time, the dead leaves after the freeze show the price paid–no such thing as free poetry, right? I’m in some uncharted territory with my video files since I just upgraded to windows 7. I haven’t tried to transfer them yet, but hopefully it’ll work out.
