Heidi Kreitz Photography: Snow!!

Monday, January 10, 2011

Snow!!

I could have also titled this "The Day I Discovered I Cannot Handhold My Macro Lens at 1/80", but I figured more people would be interested in "Snow!"...

Last Thursday morning, I was very pleasantly surprised that it snowed for a little while. And when I say snowed, I mean the big, beautiful fat flakes that just make you happy!! So I decided to try to capture a few of these wonderful snowflakes with my macro lens and see what I could get.

I discovered that 90% of the shots I thought were OK... really weren't. Here is one of the best ones I got that day... unfortunately, it is not an award winner by any means. So let's chalk it up to experience and just say "wow, beautiful snowflake" because it sure was!!! I really didn't notice the texture on this fabric until after I took the photo... next time I will look for something a little smoother to showcase the snowflakes more...

So, what is the moral of the story? I now have a new item to add to my wish list: a new tripod, because the flimsy one I have really doesn't support my camera and any heavier lens well at all, and I obviously am WAAAAY too shaky to handhold! Lesson learned!!
