This is for Dales Challenge. MY flash was connected with a cord, so I was placing it underneath and shooting upwards underneath the leaf so as not to blow out the snow. #1549968

Nice job Beth. The image has so much more depth and interest than the one with ambient light even if the the ambient light was opened up to a correct exposure. #10881138

I don't like this one bit. I'm just not ready for winter :o)

Actually, nice work on these, Beth! #10881181

This really did achieve what Dale was asking us to try Beth. Excellent. I'm just glad we only have a very few days of this white stuff each year even if it's pretty. #10881477

These are wonderful. They show off so well with the great lighting and nice contrast with the red and white. Well done!

PS I am not ready for snow either. Two nice days left here before the weather change on Monday. 74 today. #10881613

Beth, these are beautiful images and a great example of Dale's challenge. The snow has texture and is not blown out, and the red color looks natural. Great job! #10881628

Love these. Nice ones, Beth!

BTW, can you ship the snow to Texas? #10882328

Just catching up-sorry I am late!

First of all-brrr! Second-I love the contrast between the snow and the red leaf-it is really a beautiful image. Nice job on the flash-very well done! #10883268

Thanks so much to everyone! Our snow is gone and I am sure the leaves will be gone by tomorrow as we have high wind warnings tonight.
Kalena, we are heading to Texas next week to see the grandbaby and my son and his wife. I hope the snow does not follow me!! #10885258
