I was kind of disappointed that the "glitter" of the frost didn't show up very well, but I plan to try Karen's idea of lighting with a flashlight instead of using the flash. We'll see how that works. For now...the wind we had last week pretty much stripped all the frost away. But I'm sure there will be more.<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't we have gone nuts for frost like this when we were kids?<BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082885725449312660.post-3778820028948709022007-11-27T02:47:00.000-09:002007-11-27T02:47:00.000-09:00Kimberlee, I love your frost photos.

I'd love for her to paint one of your photos of "fall".

I think the light spots in that photo are actually glittery bits of frozen moisture that float around in the air this time of year. I'll have to try your flashlight idea next time to see if it makes a difference. That's an interesting thought. Might work on illuminating snowflakes too.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure I am WAY more impressed with frost than veteran Northerners would be, but I'm really glad you liked the photos. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082885725449312660.post-78544894732037505322007-11-24T17:24:00.000-09:002007-11-24T17:24:00.000-09:00I love these photos, Kimberlee. And the sock thing...I love these photos, Kimberlee. And the sock thing is hilarious.<BR/><BR/>I have an idea. Is that the moon in your power pole photo? Try shooting at an angle where you don't have the moon on, and then shine a flashlight on the frost on that power pole and don't use the flash on your camera. See if the concentrated light on the frost makes it light up like you are thinking about. <BR/><BR/>Either way, I really like that power pole photo. I know exactly what you were going for. I remember what those look like from our years in Minnesota.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211499536333065569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082885725449312660.post-14241087360352640422007-11-23T09:45:00.000-09:002007-11-23T09:45:00.000-09:00Steve and Jackie...Thanks for your comments!

I wish the photos would have shown how beautiful the frost was, but I think the total darkness against total white of the snow/frost was a difficult combination (at least for me) to try to capture effectively. <BR/><BR/>The wind is still howling, so I'm not sure how much longer the duck will be around. I do see signs of non-weather activity around him sometimes...footprints, Ski-doo tracks, etc. Maybe he'll get some help from an outside source. And, eventually, the drift he's surrounded by will compress a little. We'll see...<BR/><BR/>Thanks to both of you for visiting! I hope Thanksgiving was nice in your respective corners of the world!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082885725449312660.post-91145496083841178932007-11-22T22:42:00.000-09:002007-11-22T22:42:00.000-09:00Ditto what Steve said - that IS a lot of frost!

We're still warm here...in the 30's. I thought it would help make the snow packable (is that a real word?)so we could make snow men, but I guess there's just not enough humidity or something. <BR/><BR/>I sure enjoy your site, Kimberlee...the writing and the photos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082885725449312660.post-48971418058756919832007-11-22T19:26:00.000-09:002007-11-22T19:26:00.000-09:00Wow, that's really a lot of frost!
