Some snow fall pictures from Sunday morning

[carlcmc]

I took my Nikon D80 out. Had my one and only lens - 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 min. Cropping and conversion made in Adobe Lightroom

Took a drive early Sunday morning on the road from Zumbro Falls to Hammond along the Zumbro river.

The first bend to look interesting is below

1/400s, f/5.3, fl 66mm, ISO 400, converted to BW in Adobe Lightroom

After a mile this frame seemed to jump out at me.

1/80s, f/8, 90mm, ISO 200, BW in Lightroom

The next scene was fodder for several shots. I settled on the below 2. I'm not sure which is best, the original color or the BW version?

1/100s, f/8, 66mm, ISO 200

BW same details

Those are some nice shots Carl. For the last pic, I like the color version. I wish I would have been able to get out and shoot this weekend. I have a few spots I might try to get to before this all goes away.

For me I like the bottom black and white photo, however I would like to see the pines in the middle darkened just a little.

nice images! i almost missed that squirrel in the 1st shot.

I prefer the black and white. In the color version my eye is drawn and stays fixed on the blue in the building on the right, but with the B&W my eye wanders more and takes in the scene.

[carlcmc]

thanks for the comments. I must confess though, what squirrel?

[Dbl]

Nice mood photos by both, thanks for sharing them.

[carlcmc]

I'll add a picture of my "little one" in the snow. My daughter wanted to try out my snowshoes after one of our recent winter storms. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of her actually walking with them, but did get a portrait of her with them.

Those both are great kid portraits. Thanks for sharing them.
