A Gentle Ice Storm


I learned something interesting today.  I went out for a walk with my camera because I had seen some trees with a light coating of ice on them, backlit by the sun, when I was out in the car.  Simple picture to take, right?  Well, I walked around for an hour, and photographed a lot of trees backlit by the sun, and realized that it was nearly impossible to show the bright sparkle of the ice. What a disappointment. I realized there was a problem right away, so tried photographing other things, and this shot works well.  The branches are coated in ice, but they are front-lit, and there are some clumps of snow in the branches as well.  I did do one other shot I like, so I may post it tomorrow.
