A wintery grab bag

Its been along time since I posted on the blog. Happy 2017 already.

So the post today is a wintery grab bag. I know all you have been excited about the winter weather we had this past weekend.

We got 3-4 inches of snow and about an inch of ice that covered the roads and made them so slippery so cars would not be able to make it on the roads or to work. All the school systems around the triangle in North Carolina have been cancelled due to this inclement weather.

I bet Al D has not been out doing photography in the snow this past weekend, but I have enjoyed doing photography out in this winter weather.

During my afternoon photo shot in the snow, I was able to catch the Great Blue Heron in the icy and snow in my neighborhood pond trying to find and catch fish.

I have been doing lots of winter weather photography for years. I also photographed the sunset with the ice that covered my neighborhood pond which was very cool.

Some tips for winter weather photography are to overexpose on the camera so you can make the snow much brighter in the photograph that you can see it as looks in nature.

Enjoy the snow while it lasts until Wednesday because its going to be near 70 on Friday!

Step into Nature # 10

Welcome back to another post on my blog for this weeks Step into Nature. Let's see what adventures of the post we are going to do for this weeks Step into Nature. This a Tri- Colored Heron, Which I photographed at Pickney Wildlife Refuge while I was on vacation way back in Hilton Head. The Tri- Colored Herons a very cool waterfowl to photograph and they have different color variants compared to the Great Blue Herons found in Central North Carolina, where I live. If you have a chance to find TriColor Herons you should photograph them and they are just like the other waterfowl that can be found in central North Carolina . This is a Jellyfish, which I photographed at Myrtle Beach during sunset conditions. The photograph came out really cool. Jelly Fish are very interesting subjects to photograph at local beaches. I decided to use the jelly fish as my subject for this photograph during sunset conditions. This was also taken at Myrtle Beach when i was on vacation in 2019. T...

Just a little snow

Hey hey it Al back with a snow pictures from earlier today which I used My iPhone XR for these photographs of the snow , since I did not use my camera for these shots. We were supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow accumulation in this area but we only ended up with a dusting of snow. Some schools in the area of central North Carolina either did remote learning, delayed openings or closed for the day which one school system , did which was Chapel Hill Carrboro City schools. Even though, this was the only snow storm that Some snow stuck to the ground some did not stick to the ground due to the rain before that. In this shot, I did with the snow I used the snow as foreground element and used the remaining of the background to be blurred out to make an interesting photograph that came out really cool for this shot. I hope we might get another snow storm in February this year that might produce more snow and I can take even more pictures of it if is possible to happen this year in North C...
