Snow Day!!!

We got snow...big snow. It was so pretty - I haven't been so good about practicing my pictures lately, but I did try to get out and get a few. Short session, though, because it was sooo cold.

It is clear that my older son is more like me. He thinks it's cool, but enough is enough and it's time for spring to be here. We have had so much cold weather already. (He is getting mature enough to realize that before summer is over he's going to hate riding in the hot weather. Some people are just never happy.)

I am also confident that at some point my younger son will leave me to move far away to a very cold place. As much as I can do without really cold weather, he absolutely lives for it. He asks all summer if I think it will snow the coming winter. As soon as snow starts melting, he gets sad and immediately wonders if we will get more before summer. He comes with in wet and frozen, but happy as a little frozen lark. I'm going to miss him.

Maybe I'll muster a visit - it is pretty.

Snow in Atlanta

This was a new challenge - shooting in snow.  I tried to stay sheltered, but I couldn't resist getting a few shots.

These two shots are a comparison of the same picture with slight editing of the bottom one.  I cropped the original just a bit because I ended up with a bit more driveway than I intended.  In Lightroom, I took down the exposure (ie, made it a bit darker) and increased the contrast.  I also adjusted the tint just a teeny tiny bit.  (A very technical term.)   The adjustments give him just a little more color.

I like this one because we just never see this much snow here.  Not sure it's really that great from a photography perspective, but it accomplished what I was looking for.  Thick snowfall.
