FROSTY TREES.

A light skiff of snow, and high humidity caused the hoarfrost to cling to the trees in Calgary yesterday.
These proved rarther tricky to expose properly,comments solicited.

This last one here ... was it a dead bird or did someone (you) stick those feathers in there for the sake of this photo?

The birches in the second look feathery, too, very fairy-tale like, I like that one. It remained pretty dull and grey all day, didn't it? But the frosted trees made it all look like a vertitable Winter Wonderland.

Cool.

To me exposure looks right ... it WAS not very bright when you took these, and it shows.

Hello LaFoto, yes it was a rather dull and hazy day.
I did'nt pose the feathers, it is actualy a complete wing, all that remained a duck (teal I think) after the coyote,s had lunch.

I will enter that as the obilagtory duck shot with my new 17-85 is!

That's awesome. I love the willows. Is that what they are, by the way? The bark looks more like that of a birch, but I'm not sure. Anyway, nice job. :thumbsup:

The sun made a brief apperance, so I managed to get some nice colors in this shot.
