We're between snow/ice storms today, but another comes tomorrow night, probably dumping quite a pile on us. I don't mind the snow, it's the melt-refreeze-icy-surfaces-of-doom that I've come to really dislike. We're in that strange temperature range, just now, where we can have dried-out walkways except for those few spots that are normally in the shade, and even the slightest misting or freezing rain will deposit truly treacherous ice those spots, but leaving them looking just wet.<br /><br />Our slate steps are just fine. Except for this one spot, which I'm now calling Dead Man's Curve. It's an ice magnet, and defies all technologies and labors that might make it safe. We're just going to have to wait for sustained warm weather. Mother Nature treating you poorly? Share a photo!</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lex_jenkins Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 <p>Finally got our first bit of real winter here in Texas over the past weekend. I was curious to try infrared in cold weather, and try some time lapse during the snow and sleet.</p> <p>The time lapse didn't work out as planned. No precipitation was visible in any of the 300 photos taken around midnight, but since I stood outside in 25F weather for an hour I pulled one frame I liked from the batch. Pretty much straight from the camera JPEG, minor retouching to remove artifact in lower right corner. The outdoor lights, diffused moonlight and airborne dust created an interesting effect. The camera and lens were filthy from dust washed out of the air, after the frozen water thawed. Despite the glitches this old D2H has suffered the past few years, it performed without a hitch for hours in freezing weather and light freezing rain.<br /> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17979668-md.jpg" alt="Windmill in winter storm" width="680" height="450" border="0" /><br /><em>Nikon D2H, 18-70 DX @ 27mm, ISO 800</em>.<br /> *<br /> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17979674-lg.jpg" alt="Infrared snow palm" width="560" height="700" border="0" /><br /><em>Infrared snow palm tree.

D2H, 24mm Tamron Adaptall</em>.<br /><em>I sorta liked the look of faded, fogged, color shifted film here. Probably just due to veiling flare from the bright overcast sky and snow hitting the large Cokin sheet filters. The reddish/greenish split is probably due to the Cokin Pola Red/Green filter I use as part of my makeshift infrared filter pack for the D2H</em>.<br /> *</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 <p>Went to a concert by the young Korean violinist Ye Eun Choi with the San Francisco Symphony. We arrived over an hour early for the pre-concert lecture. Before the lecture began, Miss Choi came on stage in street clothes to practice the Brahms violin concerto.</p> <p>Nikon D750 with 70-200mm/f4 AF-S VR at f4.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylebybee Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 <p>These were taken last weekend, and I'm playing with B&W processing in Lightroom, any other recommendations? I do have PS but don't use it too much due to learning curve.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrankin Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 <p>When the sun came back out on Monday, I visited a group of ice caves up the shore from us in Door County, Wisconsin.
