Snow and Ice After Another Storm

 

After a trip to town, we wandered around a little to look at the melting snow and ice.

The Many Shapes of Ice

I took a few photos of ice in the recent storm with my iphone.  Although they aren't the best photos I've ever taken, they are interesting to compare the variety of ways ice can be photographed.  I've even added a fun creepy photo.

Please share any interesting ice photos you took.

Ice photos

This time of year, you can get creative with ice photos or snow pictures.  Look for interesting shapes in the ice or icicles hanging from the roof or even your mailbox, especially near sunrise or sunset.

Look for ice crystals on your windows too.  You won't even have to go outside!  One year, I used a star filter on my lens and tried to catch the water drops from an icicle hanging off my roof with the sunlight behind it.  I finally caught one, but it took a lot of patience.  I didn't have to go outside for that one either.

I recently photographed some branches growing into the water.  It has an interesting reflection too.   I call it Ice Fingers.

A short while later, I photographed this simple reflection of the sun at sunset, like molten gold.

Feel free to post your own ice picture.
