When and where was the photo taken?
This photo was taken the day after Thanksgiving, Nov 26, 2010, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, at our cabin located just up the road from Camp Connell, California (Near Big Trees State Park, Arnold, and Bear Valley on Route 4).
Photo Description
On this day, it had started snowing prior to sunrise, and continued nonstop though-out the day. I was determined to get some photos of the snow falling with my camera and waded through waist deep snow drifts throughout our property to try and capture some of the essence of the forest here in Calaveras County Big Trees Area. One of my favorite trees is the Pacific Dogwood Tree because it is so delicate, yet so hearty as to survive through the high country winters. This is a photo ofPacific Dogwood branches, with the remnants of the summer bloom still visible in the green ball shaped ORNAMENTS. There is a slight bit of snow building up on the branches, and it is snowing. This photo emphasizes the marked change from autumn to winter as snow takes the landscape, and trees and animals hibernate for spring.
Advice
- Advice? I probably could use some myself. But here is a bit of advice I am going to follow....go out and take pictures. Don't let your inhibitions get in the way of your ambitions. I use a kitchen garbage bag, and cut a hole for the lens shield to fit, and tape it on, then pop a small hole for the viewfinder so I can see. 50 cent trick, but works like a charm. I do this in the rain and take hundreds of pictures of our kids playing soccer. The rain, or snow falling makes for some real nice photographs, and I dont worry about the camera with my custom bag on.
