Frosty Morn'


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Frosty Morn'
Frosty Morn'
Here in Coastal Carolina, frost is something of a rarity. I was headed to the park to feed & shoot the fuzzbutts, and noticed a glistening in the early morning light, whenever there was a clearing in the trees. I drove past one clearing. Two. Three. I was late with the walnuts. Four. I turned the car around. A real photographer would have pulled the tripod from the trunk, but not me. I stood on that embankment, leaning forward rather precipitously, until the sun started to melt my subject.

  Thank you for such great comments, everyone!

It seemed strange not to post a squirrel image...but I didn't want to 'waste' the 30 minutes or so that found me standing on an embankment as cars whizzed by!

  Just super, Tess -- glad you turned around even if the fuzzbutts had to cool their heels for a while. They'll get over it!

  Wow, thank you EVERYONE for all of these awesome comments!

It was a lot of fun shooting the frost, even though I wasn't very satisfied with the results (I know, I know...use the tripod the next time, lazybutt).

  Oh, I can just see you leaning forward, precipitously - I did the same thing during one of our rare snow storms - and fell into a patch of prickly pear cactus! Am still pulling out barbs!! :) Really cool shot, beautiful color - sorta the frozen equivalent of your "Do the Dew" shots! Well done!

  Thank you for leaving such fab comments Valarie, Melissa, and Patricia!

Ouch, Valarie. No danger of cacti stickings where I was shooting, but there were some thorny vines (some of which I grabbed in an effort to get a shot of a pretty red leaf).

  Wow, thank you everyone! This really came as quite a surprise (I only posted the image to 'prove' I wasn't living with the squirrels).

Congrats to all the finalists this month...there are really some stunning images (as always).

Regrets for not being more active here at BP. Life has been, well...we all know how life goes, sometimes.
