Fun in the Snow!

Finally! Some snow to make my landscape photos more interesting! Yes, I am one of those strange people who actually enjoys winter and gets excited for the first big snowfall. Yesterday morning, I decided to go to the park by the RCMP museum and just play with my camera's settings. As I have learned in the ECE Summer Institute, sometimes playing is the best way to learn. And now that I have some more knowledge of photography, taking pictures with my new camera is starting to come a little more naturally. Here are some of my photos from the session:

 

I didn't see anyone out while I was taking photos, but I came across some dog tracks from an earlier walk. I used the "micro" (close-up) setting for this picture. 

 

 In this photo, I was experimenting with the foreground and background (AKA the "depth of field").

 I love how this photo captured some of the falling snow. This was thanks to a slower shutter speed. You can see the RCMP Heritage Centre in the background.

For this photo, I got up close and personal with the long grasses beside the creek. They served as a nice baseline for this picture. 

 

I have always liked pictures of roads and back alleys. This one focuses on the line of trees lining the alley. 

I thoroughly enjoyed my quiet snowy walk yesterday morning. Now I would like to know, what is your favourite snowy memory? Perhaps if you have it captured in a picture, you could share it!
